Transmission plays a crucial role in determining the performance of equipment irrespective of an industry. The Indian developmental pace specifically increased demand for power infrastructure has given the scope of performance optimization to various enterprises. This creates the need of adding equipment that has a longer life expectancy with low maintenance and lowest downtime to organizational profile.
However, price-war between local and global players often lead the customers in making local purchase with significantly lower prices that gradual becomes a liability for the owner. The conveyer belt market in India is witnessing higher demands due to the increasing demands. But, the competition between local and global manufacturers threatens the average market quality, ultimately directing the customers to a high-value purchase after a poor capital investment being made initially.
