Three New Variants. Twenty Years in India.
On 23 October, we unveiled the SK210, SK215LC and SK230XDLC at our Sri City manufacturing facility in Andhra Pradesh, strengthening our portfolio in the 19.1–24 tonne category.
With localisation increasing significantly, including a locally sourced Cummins engine, these variants represent a substantial step towards that goal.
With our ‘Value Excavation’ philosophy, the opportunity is clear: bring the value of Kobelco to a wider and untouched customer base.
Mr. Kapil Kothari, Head Brand & Marketing, mentions:
"This is one of the biggest milestones in Kobelco India’s history. Launching three new variants in the 19.1 to 24 Tonne segment which caters to the highest TIV in the Indian excavator market. This marks a strategic turning point for us, and as Head of Brand & Marketing, this resonates my brand vision *to make Kobelco the most preferred brand across all categories* , and this launch is just the beginning of that momentum."
The occasion also marked two decades of Kobelco’s presence in India. With more than 20,000 machines manufactured at Sri City and a reach extending across over 16 countries, we have a strong foundation for the journey ahead.
Heartiest congratulations to the entire Kobelco team for making this launch a grand success. We are sincerely grateful to our customers and dealer partners for their continued trust and support.
