AJAX Engineering has launched UDAAN, a compact, mobile and versatile concrete mixing solution, at EXCON 2025. With this introduction, the company is creating a new category aimed at expanding the reach of mechanised concreting across India’s fast-growing construction sector.
At a time when mechanised concreting penetration in India remains relatively low, UDAAN is positioned to support emerging contractors and local builders in transitioning from manual, labour-intensive practices to efficient mechanised workflows. The launch aligns with AJAX’s long-term mission of strengthening construction productivity while contributing to national infrastructure development and the vision of Viksit Bharat 2047.
Developed and manufactured in India, UDAAN features a 0.8 cu.m drum, compact footprint, high manoeuvrability and a CEV Stage V–compliant engine, making it suitable for varied site conditions and evolving regulatory requirements. The solution addresses labour shortages and enables smaller contractors to adopt repeatable, scalable and quality-driven concreting practices.
Speaking at the launch during EXCON 2025, Shubhabrata Saha, MD & CEO, AJAX Engineering, said,
“For more than three decades, AJAX has played a defining role in shaping India’s concreting ecosystem from pioneering SLCMs to introducing precision technologies like our patented Load-Cell. The need for safer, faster and more reliable concreting solutions has never been more critical. With UDAAN, we are deepening the reach of mechanised concreting into emerging markets, while continuing to strengthen our legacy of engineering excellence, service reliability and innovation.”
Beyond UDAAN, AJAX showcased one of its most comprehensive product portfolios at the exhibition. The display included its range of Self Loading Concrete Mixers (SLCMs), a patented self-propelled Boom Pump, Batching Plants, Electric Concrete Pumps, and India’s first indigenously developed 3D Concrete Printer, capable of constructing a 350 sq. m structure in just three days. The company also presented its indigenously developed Slip Form Paver, a flagship model recently exported to Russia and Africa, reinforcing its ‘Make in India, Made for the World’ philosophy.
AJAX further highlighted its patented Load-Cell technology, which enables highly accurate concrete measurement and sets a benchmark for quality and consistency across applications. Quality, the company emphasised, remains central to its design, manufacturing and service processes, supported by strong systems, disciplined execution and close collaboration with vendors to ensure component-level reliability.
With four advanced manufacturing facilities currently in operation and plans to commission another, AJAX continues to invest significantly in R&D and new product development. These technology initiatives are complemented by focused skill development through the AJAX School of Concrete, which trains operators and technicians to handle modern equipment with precision, helping bridge the industry’s skill gap.
Backed by a strong after-sales network with over 100 service touchpoints, AJAX ensures high uptime and nationwide spare parts availability. Its international presence is steadily expanding, with distributors across 23 countries and products supplied to 45 global markets. With 33 years of engineering expertise, AJAX remains committed to advancing India’s concreting ecosystem through innovation, skilling and site-ready solutions that enable safer, faster and more consistent construction outcomes.
