It is designed to easily negotiate confined places and urban environments. Its small design and clever self-diagnostic system ensure maximum performance. The machine is available with either a zero-maintenance lead acid battery or a lithium battery.

Narasimha Jayakumar, CEO, Greaves Retail, says, “The construction industry in India is experiencing  significant growth, driven by the government’s substantial investments in urbanisation and rural  development. With initiatives aimed at enhancing infrastructure across the nation, the sector is poised  to expand significantly—projected to grow at a CAGR of 9.5% and estimated to reach $1.4 trillion by 2025. This creates a compelling demand for innovative, efficient, and clean energy construction  equipment. At Greaves Retail, we see this as the perfect opportunity to leverage our rich legacy in  engineering and diversify our offerings to meet the evolving demands of this dynamic industry.  Launching our new range of light electrified construction equipment at bauma CONEXPO India 2024—a premier platform for showcasing innovation—reflects our commitment to contributing to India’s  sustainability journey and supporting the growth of the construction sector.”
