'Perkins continues to focus on product

development across our range'
- Pankaj Jha, South Asia Marketing Manager, Perkins
Tell us about the current status of your upcoming manufacturing facility at
Aurangabad in Maharashtra. Do you also intend to use the facility for exports?
The manufacturing facility is located in the Shendra Industrial Area in
Aurangabad; one of the fastest growing cities in the world. Construction work is
currently underway at the 120,000 sq. m site to create a 40,000sqm
manufacturing facility which will produce our largest and most powerful range of
engines, the Perkins® 4000 Series.
The facility will initially have the capacity to produce around 3,000 4000 Series
engines per year, with the capability to increase to 5,000 units in the future.
In addition to ongoing work at the facility, we have continued to focus on our
people. Our key appointments have already been made, as we work to establish
a strong team in India to meet our customer requirements.
The Aurangabad facility will also serve our electric power customers in China
and the wider Asian region with a range of dependable, quality engines which
deliver a lifetime of low cost. It will enable us to better meet the demand for the
4000 Series from the Indian and Asian markets by shortening lead times and
helping us forge even closer ties with our valued customers.

What is your take on the current industrial slowdown in India? Has it resulted in
