In India, what kind of challenges do you see especially in OTR segment?
Industrial construction segment in India is growing because infrastructure and road construction growth is going to be tremendous considering the government’s current focus on the segment. Utilisation of machines such as backhoe loaders, cement mixers, etc., will be high and we would like to take the opportunity to provide added value services to the customers.

How was 2018 for you?
It was good and we have grown almost 20 per cent. This is because we are with the segment, and have grown along with it. Next year, we feel that the same type of growth can be held.

What are the plans for 2019?
Two tires have been exhibited at bC India 2018 – radial tires for road construction with a special feature. SR 423 is the new tire we have launched and in the cement mixing size we have got a size which is radial.

Utilisation of machines such as backhoe loaders, cement mixers, etc. will be high, and we would like to take the opportunity to service customers.
