almost Rs 275 crore plus in the railway business which almost addresses our
next one year’s revenue target for this business and looking at about 20%
plus growth in the railway business this year and expecting a similar growth
probably will continue going forward also for the next four-five year

manufactures tractors under the brand names of Farmtrac, Powertrac and
Steeltrac. It has four manufacturing plants in Faridabad and one subsidiary
unit in Poland in the name of Farmtrac Europe

Equipment

construction and material handling equipment like pick and carry cranes,
backhoe loader, vibratory rollers and forklifts. The manufacturing and assembly
facility is located in Faridabad.
On the construction sector, company's expectation was that in the second half of this year, it should be able to turn
around and probably be in black. But this time, since in Q2 itself we saw very
good volumes coming up which led to the turnaround happening probably a quarter
earlier than what it had anticipated initially. company is pretty bullish on the construction equipment business this year
