JCB India has made a big move at EXCON 2025 with the launch of its biggest excavator ever – a massive 52 tonne machine designed for tough and high volume work. This new launch is part of a much bigger showcase as the company has revealed more than 10 new machines along with several digital tools for customers.
The event is a showcase of JCB’s focus on simple, reliable and more efficient solutions for construction and infrastructure projects in India and abroad.
JCB’s display this year features upgraded excavators, stronger backhoe loaders, new compact machines and industry first technologies. The star of the lineup is the 52-tonne 520X LC excavator, made for heavy-duty jobs in mining, roads, and large-scale infrastructure work.
A Giant Leap Forward for JCB India
While announcing the new machines, JCB India’s CEO and MD, Deepak Shetty said that EXCON brings together customers, policymakers, suppliers and technology experts. It helps companies better understand the market needs and what’s coming next.
He also shared that JCB exports to over 135 countries, and many international customers from South Asia, Africa and Southeast Asia visited JCB stall this year.
A Strong Customer First Approach
JCB says its goal is always simple – reduce the user’s overall cost, improve fuel efficiency, and keep machines running for longer. Most of the new machines come with upgrades that improve comfort, safety and performance on job sites.
Mr. Shetty added that if something something matters to customers, it becomes equally important for JCB’s engineering teams. This year’s launches clearly reflect that mindset.
