Mr. Arvind K. Garg, Executive Vice-President, Construction & Mining Machinery Business, L&T, and Chairman of ConMac 2017, spoke of the need for the Government in treating Construction Equipment as a vital input in infrastructure development of the country, ably supported by attractive GST rates, which would help bolster the sustained growth of the industry.
