Infrastructure development is the key to spurring business growth, generating employment and giving an overall thrust to the economy of a nation. And quality construction equipment can power the development process by helping to cut costs and by ensuring timely completion of projects.

Telco Construction Equipment Company is the largest manufacturer of hydraulic excavators in India, with over 6,000 machines in the market. It possesses indigenous design and development capabilities, and the company’s manufacturing facilities are ISO 9001-certified.

Telco Construction was the first to introduce mini-excavators in India, and its EX60 brand is the most successful machine to be made in India thus far, with more than 1,300 of them being sold over the last three years.

The company offers the widest available range of hydraulic excavators — eight models ranging from 2 tonnes to 60 tonnes in size — and have remained the market leader for the past five years despite stiff competition. Indeed, Telco Construction claims to move mountains, and that is, if anything, an understatement.

The company’s hydraulic excavators are manufactured in technical collaboration with the Hitachi Construction Machinery Company of Japan.
