What can be the market size of bulk material handling equipment/systems industry in India? What's your market share?
Current Material Handling market in India is really unpredictable, Ambiguous, Uncertain not able to define clear strategies to meet day to day uncertain challenges.
Indian Material Handling Industry is going through tough challenges due to poor infrastructure, real-estate growth across India for last 3 years. Delayed project clearances related to mining, environmental put the most of the upcoming projects on hold in addition to that tight cash flows in the market totally slow down the industry growth. However for the last one year of new government initiatives there is optimism across about industry revival- we are expecting moderate 10-15 % CAGR in the bulk material industry in coming future.
Material handling sector is back bone for infrastructure growth. In next FY we expect major business opportunities going to emerge in this segment which will last at least for next 3-4 years minimum but we are realistic in our optimism and expected to do good business and going to achieve at least Rs 200 crore turn over by focusing more on medium range material handling projects.
Could you comment on the impact of GST on the business at large?
Bulk industry is still scrambling with the others and the performance is been negligible. The industry having favorable demographic and geographic position as an advantage, it has not been able to capitalize when compared to other industries. A complex tax structure, inadequate infrastructure, and bureaucracy diminishing its capability to perform well on a global scale engulf various sectors in India. As per the sources, the manufacturing industry in India has been close to stagnant.
However, the manufacturing sector might be revived under the focused efforts of government and by implementation. For India, becoming a manufacturing hub will need various strategic reformations to simplify the existing system in the country. One of the much-publicized proposed reform “make in India” scheme initiative taken by the government is aligning with the implementation of the GST.
Material handling in any country is a major economic driver for the developing economies across the globe. For India, it is no less.
Going forward, where do you see Bevcon Wayors in the next five years?
Bevcon has been an influential entity for more than two decade in conventional material handling domain and now it's time to 'challenge the consistency and current status quo' and move to the bigger league of business, which is necessary for the organization to sustain in a volatile era with situations constantly changing.
Bevcon’s core strength lies in use of New Generation / Innovative Conveying systems and equipment, which caters to the present demands of the Indian material handling sector. With our highly competent technical team supported by technology partners from the US and Europe, we are in a position to create Innovative equipment by taking the industry a few notches higher for industrial growth.
