Doosan Bobcat, a pioneer and industry leader in compact construction equipment, announces the inauguration of its 11,300-sq-m compact excavator production facility within the existing Chennai plant site after nine months of construction. The compact excavators are expected to enter full-scale production starting in 2025 after the installation and stabilisation of the production line. With the completion of this production facility, Doosan Bobcat India adds mini excavators to its production lineup, which already includes backhoe loaders and skid-steer loaders. Since last year, the Chennai plant has been expanding its export volume focusing on the S70 Skid-steer Loader besides Backhoe Loaders. The Indian unit has seen robust growth, with its annual growth rate at 22 percent on average over the past five years. Doosan Bobcat's Indian subsidiary plans to sell 8,900 units annually by 2028, including Bobcat Portable Power equipment manufactured at its Bengaluru plant.

The inauguration brought together the global leadership team at Doosan Bobcat to witness the unveiling of the new facility. With the expanded floor space and upgraded machinery, Doosan Bobcat India would meet the ever-growing demand for its range of equipment by enhancing production efficiency, quality control, and product innovation. Built with sustainability in mind, the new facility incorporates eco-friendly practices and technologies to minimize environmental impact and reduce carbon footprint. This expansion project would create numerous job opportunities for skilled workers in the local community, contributing to economic growth and prosperity.
