CASE Construction Equipment Opens Bigger Faridabad Facility, Doubles Parts Storage

CASE Construction Equipment has moved into bigger premises in Faridabad, and the figure an NCR machine owner should notice is not the 6,000 sq ft. It is the parts store, which the company says is double the size of its previous setup, plus a workshop that takes 10 to 12 machines at once. The opening lands in the same week the region’s construction curbs begin, which gives CASE owners a reason to use it straight away.

What CASE opened in Faridabad

Autocar Professional, ET Manufacturing, EPC World and Motoring Trends carried the announcement on 4 November, all working from the same company statement. Ravindra Ashtekar, Head of Network Development at CASE Construction Equipment, said NCR demand is “shaped by ongoing infrastructure development and a diverse range of customer requirements”, and that the new premises bring parts storage, workshop capacity and a display area together. The company gave no investment figure, no staff count and no list of the four models on show.

Does a bigger parts store change anything for a CASE owner in NCR?

For most owners it does, and the floor area undersells the change. The 2018 Faridabad showroom was a little over 5,000 sq ft, so the building has grown by roughly a fifth while the parts store has doubled. Most of the extra room went to shelving, not to the showroom. More filters, hoses, seals and wear parts held locally should mean fewer jobs waiting on a part shipped in from elsewhere.

By the company’s own account, CASE leads India’s vibratory compactor segment and is a leading player in backhoe loaders. Those are the machines on NCR’s district road, colony and utility jobs, and both run long hours on short contracts. A backhoe standing for a week while its owner waits on a hydraulic pump loses hire income that does not come back. A 10 to 12 bay workshop also lets a major engine or transmission job be done in Faridabad rather than on a site.

The timing helps. CAQM has halted dust-generating construction across NCR, highways, roads and flyovers included, from 5 to 20 November. Road-job compactors and backhoes in Delhi, Gurugram and Faridabad face up to 16 idle days. That is the cheapest window of the year for a scheduled service or a hydraulic overhaul, because the machine is not earning anyway. Book early: a 12-machine workshop fills quickly once the curb lifts and every contractor wants plant back on site the same week.

A company-run facility usually prices parts and labour near list rates, so this looks more like an uptime gain than a cheaper-repair story. For anyone pricing a new backhoe or roller for NCR work, a brand’s own parts counter close to the job is worth weighing next to the sticker price, since it shortens breakdowns and tends to support resale.

FAQ

Where is the new CASE facility?

In Faridabad, Haryana, inside the National Capital Region. The company says it serves customers across the northern region. The reports did not give a street address, so check with your CASE dealer before you visit.

What does the facility include?

6,000 sq ft, double the previous parts storage, a workshop for 10 to 12 machines and a display of four CASE models. All of these figures are company-stated.

Can I get a machine serviced during the NCR construction curb?

The CAQM order, as reported, covers construction and demolition work, not workshops. Servicing an idle machine at a workshop should fall outside it, but confirm the booking and any transport rules with the dealer first.
