Piping hot
During the Eleventh Plan period (2007-2012), domestic players exceeded the planned capital expenditure outlay. They invested Rs 2,751.6 billion, 120 per cent of the planned target of Rs 2,289.9 billion.
Pushing for growth
The potential is enormous when you look from a macro perspective. In India only about 20 per cent of organisations look at warehousing services from a supply chain point of view, whereas globally the average is over 60 per cent.

Roadmap to Success
The construction equipment industry has witnessed substantial investments in the recent past with several companies setting up manufacturing bases, and the demand is likely to rise with the focus on infrastructure development.
