Questions

Entering India: common questions

How can a foreign construction equipment company enter the Indian market?

The usual routes are a distributor or dealer network, a joint venture with an Indian partner, or a wholly owned subsidiary with local assembly or manufacturing. The right choice depends on volumes, import duties, service needs and how fast you want to scale. We start with market research and a business plan, then help you execute the chosen route.

Do you help find joint-venture or distribution partners in India?

Yes. We shortlist and assess potential partners, run introductions and due diligence, and support negotiations. For a Sino-Swedish brand, this led to a signed joint venture with the partner we identified.

Can you help set up a factory in India?

Yes. We have taken a European equipment maker through a greenfield factory project. That plant now supplies 70% of the company's global product portfolio for export.

Why set up an engineering or development centre in India?

India offers deep engineering talent at a lower cost. An India centre we set up for a US engineering software company cut its development costs by 60%.

Which sectors do you advise?

Construction equipment, construction technology, infrastructure, engineering and manufacturing.
