“India is fast emerging as a pivotal force in the global construction ecosystem as a manufacturing and innovation powerhouse,” said Emre Karazli, Vice President Construction Segment, APAC & AME.

“With the rollout of BS (CEV) Stage V-compliant equipment from our Pithampur facility, we are bringing globally benchmarked, sustainable technologies to India while reinforcing our global supply chain.”

The OEM added that the Stage V-compliant equipment was previously manufactured for international markets, but will now also be available for the domestic market.

Due to Indian government regulations, Stage V CEV standards came into effect on 1 January 2025 for construction equipment vehicles. Stage V TREM standards will apply from 1 April 2026.
