JCB India Launches its Largest Ever 52 Tonne Excavator at Excon 2025

JCB India has launched a new portfolio of technologically advanced machines and digital solutions at Excon 2025, South Asia’s largest construction equipment exhibition. The showcase reflects the company’s continued focus on customer driven innovation, and integrated support solutions — reinforcing JCB’s leadership in the construction and infrastructure equipment sector.

JCB India has launched over 10 new products at Excon 2025, marking one of the company’s most substantial showcases to date. The new line-up includes the 52-tonne excavator, JCB’s largest excavator manufactured in India for both domestic and global export markets, enhanced backhoe loaders, the latest Excavator range (2-5 ton), and several technologically advanced, industry-first solutions.

Speaking at the launch, Deepak Shetty, CEO and MD, JCB India, “Excon is a forum that brings together customers, policymakers, contractors, financiers, suppliers, and technology leaders, creating an ecosystem for strategic collaboration and long-term business growth. JCB exports to more than 135 countries from India and this year we also have customers from South Asia, Africa Region and South-East Asia visiting us. EXCON allows us to understand evolving market needs and demonstrate how our latest solutions align with both global and India’s infrastructure demands.”

JCB’s product strategy continues to be anchored in a customer-first philosophy. Every solution is engineered with a singular focus on Lower Cost of Ownership, higher fuel efficiency, improved machine uptime, enhanced safety and ergonomics, ensuring maximum productivity at project sites.

Speaking about the launches Shetty said, “At JCB, we believe, “If it is important for the customer, it is important for us”. Entering new segments, improving fuel efficiency, and prioritising operator safety are not just design choices — they are at the heart of JCB’s engineering DNA. Every machine we launch at EXCON this year demonstrates that belief.”

Sustainability remains a defining theme in JCB’s innovation roadmap. In 2023, the company pioneered the industry’s first hydrogen engine powering a backhoe loader that delivers diesel equivalent performance with zero carbon emissions. In India, JCB’s technological advancements over the past 15 years have resulted in a 45% improvement in fuel efficiency, significantly reducing operating costs and environmental impact for customers.

At Excon 2025, JCB expanded its hydrogen portfolio with the launch of a hydrogen-powered genset, marking another milestone in the transition toward clean energy solutions. Shetty shared, “The world is embracing hydrogen at an unprecedented speed. When the time comes, JCB is fully prepared to empower our nation’s infrastructure growth with technology that is both sustainable and future ready.” JCB India also launched its Parts Online portal, an E-commerce Platform designed to make genuine parts more accessible than ever. This digital platform offers customers instant access to a comprehensive catalogue of JCB parts and a streamlined faster and informed purchase experience
