CNH Training Helps Close an Industry-Wide Skills Gap
At CNH 's CASE Construction Equipment 's site in Pithampur, India, young people from underprivileged backgrounds can train as backhoe operators, helping to address a shortage of skilled workers in the construction industry. The number of vehicles sold each year has increased from around 10,000 two decades ago to close to 150,000 now and is likely to reach 250,000 by 2030. Over the past decade, India's economy has almost doubled in size, from around $2 trillion to $3.7 trillion. The country's construction market has played a big part in this rapid growth and India is now the world's third-largest market for construction machinery, behind only the US and China. The number of vehicles sold each year has increased from around 10,000 two decades ago to close to 150,000 now and is likely to reach 250,000 by 2030, according to the Indian Construction Equipment Manufacturers Association (ICEMA). However, construction firms in this booming market have struggled to find enough qualified operators, particularly for backhoe loaders, which are the mainstay of India's construction sites. CASE saw an opportunity to do more to bring new operators into the sector in the region around its plant in Pithampur, central India, and at the same time address the challenge of growing unemployment in the country. The Indian government has made it a priority to tackle the vicious circle in which a lack of access to good education and training keeps sections of the population trapped in economically disadvantaged situations because they are not qualified for higher-paying jobs. In 2022, CASE started the Hunar program, which trains people in the region as backhoe loader operators. Most participants were economically disadvantaged after leaving school at a young age with few qualifications. CNH also works to place as many of the newly qualified operators into jobs once they complete the course. Participants receive 210 hours of training over 32 days and on average 70% secure employment at the end. Between June 2022 and June 2025, more than 520 people have been trained, of whom 370 are working. Read more here. Visit 3BL Media to see more multimedia and stories from CNH

CASE Construction aims to make India plant its global hub
CASE Construction Equipment , a brand of CNH Industrial , has outlined plans to position its Pithampur facility in Madhya Pradesh as the company's global hub for construction equipment production. Speaking during a recent media interaction, Emre Karazli , Vice President, Construction Segment, APAC & AME, said, 'India is becoming a major global supplier for CNH, both for construction equipment and agricultural machinery. About 80 per cent of CNH's requirements for the Asia Pacific region come from our plant in Pithampur.' He further added, 'India is one of the strongest in the global picture supplier base for the rest of CNH.' Currently, the Pithampur plant accounts for nearly half of CASE Construction Equipment's revenue from exports, with machines shipped to more than 120 countries. To date, over 20,000 units have been exported from the facility, a testament to its growing strategic importance. The plant, one of CNH's largest globally by volume, is noted for its high level of operational efficiency. It can manufacture one machine every 16 minutes, producing up to 18 backhoe loaders and six compactors daily. The plant is also expanding its product range to serve both domestic and international markets. Focus on localisation, inventory strength and expanding product portfolio CASE is working to localise more components and supply chains to boost cost competitiveness without compromising quality. The company sees India's lower labour costs, strong talent pool, and evolving regulatory landscape—now aligned with global emission standards—as critical advantages for expanding its global competitiveness. Shalabh Chaturvedi , Managing Director, CASE India & SAARC, highlighted the company's preparedness to meet demand, noting that the Pithampur plant holds around ₹100 crore worth of inventory to ensure consistent supply and faster customer deliveries. He also emphasised CASE's broader market development approach, stating, 'CASE is expanding its dealer network in India, especially in areas with new infrastructure projects like the Bharat Mala project.' The company is preparing for shifts in market demand, with plans to manufacture mini excavators in India aimed at APAC and North American markets. Increased investment in workforce training is also underway to equip technicians with skills necessary for handling the advanced electronic systems and sensors now incorporated in Stage V-compliant machinery. Launch of BS (CEV) stage V-compliant machines CASE also announced the rollout of its first BS (CEV) Stage V-compliant machine for the Indian market from the Pithampur facility. This marks the start of local manufacturing for an upgraded portfolio that includes the newly launched 952 NX and 450 NX vibratory compactors, as well as the refreshed 1107 NX compactor. Advanced backhoe loader models, including the 770 NX, 770 NX Magnum, and 851 NX, have also been introduced. The backhoe loaders and compactors are powered by the FPT F28 engine, meeting the latest emission norms while offering improved fuel efficiency and reduced environmental impact. Operator-focused enhancements, such as digital instrument clusters, ergonomic controls, and integrated telematics via the myCASE Construction platform, have been incorporated into the new models. 'With the rollout of BS (CEV) Stage V-compliant equipment from our Pithampur facility, we are bringing globally benchmarked, sustainable technologies to India while reinforcing our global supply chain. This milestone reflects our unwavering commitment to advancing environmental stewardship, engineering excellence, and localisation aligned with India's long-term infrastructure goals,' Karazli said. India's role CASE Construction Equipment has been present in India since 1989 and is widely recognised for its vibratory compactors and backhoe loaders. As the company sharpens its focus on making the Indian facility its number one construction equipment manufacturing plant globally, the Pithampur unit is set to play an increasingly central role in CNH's international strategy.
