Mumbai: Finnish crane maker Konecranes, which recently acquired Indian crane company WMI Cranes Ltd, is setting up a new plant at Jejuri in western Maharashtra. The company also plans to set up an R&D facility in Pune. WMI has production plants in Mumbai and Jejuri, near Pune, which will now be used for machining of components. It will invest around Euro 15 million (approximately 1.01 billion Indian rupees) to set up this plant, with an installed capacity of 1,000 units a year. The plant is expected to be operational by next year. Konecranes India country head Sami Korpela said the domestic market, which saw a sale of 10,000 cranes last year, is expected to double by 2013. The company also plans to export to West Asia, South-East Asia and Africa. |
