From allocating Rs. 94.071 crore in 2019-20 to Indian Railways, suggestion of Rs.5,000,000 crore to improve the railways infrastructure between 2018-2030, and an investment of Rs.10,000,000 crore in infrastructure in the next five years, apart from various other plans, the government is really pushing the country’s infrastructure health. Owning to these steps a surge in investments in the infrastructure sector and growth in the real estate sector, the construction equipment market in India is expected to expand to a CAGR of over seven percent till 2023, up from its 2017 value of Rs.210 billion.

Helping build India through its hundreds of construction equipment and decades of industry experience is Appolo Cranes Pvt. Ltd. Founded by Arun Mahajan in 1988, who has over 35 years of experience and knowledge in the field of crane hiring and trading in the SouthEase Asian market, the company today needs no introduction. This New Delhi based company is one of the leading crane rental organizations that has around 60 self-owned cranes bought from over 15 countries including America, Germany, Italy, Spain, South Africa, China and others. It is also a trading giant in India dealing with only reputed brands such as Terex Demag, Kobelco, Krupp, Grove, Luna, Sany and so on, and has sold over 200 cranes to various firms in the country, including Reliance Infrastructure IFFCO, Power Mech.

This ISO 9001 certified company has worked on some of the most renowned projects of India, two of which are the contract of the National Police Memorial ‘Tower Statue’ and the Jain Mandir in Baghpat, Uttar Pradesh, ‘Bhagwan Babuli Statue’.

On the other hand, Arun considers his team of 100 as his family and hence retaining around 70 percent of them, some of whom have been with the company since the last 25 years.
