Komatsu India at Bauma CONEXPO INDIA 2026: powering the future of smart construction

The construction and infrastructure sector is ushering in a new, exciting phase - a time when it is as much about productivity, precision, connectivity, and smart technology as it is about machine strength. At the cutting edge of this change, KIPL (Komatsu India Private Limited) will demonstrate its latest generation of construction equipment and its dedicated approach toward developing smart construction technology at Bauma CONEXPO INDIA 2026. Watch this transformation at Bauma CONEXPO INDIA, the most important international trade fair for construction, construction materials, and mining equipment and vehicles in India, from 15–18 Sep, 2026, at India Expo Centre, Greater Noida / Delhi NCR.

Komatsu India: One Vision for Smarter Construction

Together, these showcase Komatsu India’s vision of delivering dependable machines for a range of applications, along with features that help customers better operate, maintain, and optimise their machines and output. This includes the following:
  • PC30MR
  • Mini Excavator
  • PC35MR
  • Mini Excavator
  • PC81-10M0
  • Hydraulic Excavator
  • PC205-10M0
  • Hydraulic Excavator
  • PC225LC-10M0
  • Hydraulic Excavator
  • D85ESS-2A
  • Crawler Dozer

PC30MR - Power for Tight Work

The PC30MR-3, Komatsu’s compact 3-tonne mini-excavator, provides power and precise control for confined work applications. The machine produces an output of 22 kW/29.5HP and a machine weight in the region of 3.14-3.4 tonnes, and a bucket capacity between 0.035-0.13 m3; it also has extremely compact dimensions, a short tail swing and sophisticated hydraulic control. The machine's precision, speed, and fast movements make it ideal for confined work, from service and repair and landscape gardening to road construction and civil engineering.

PC35MR - Another All-Rounder For Tight Spots

The PC35MR-3 takes another step in meeting even more demanding applications for the mini-excavator range. With 22 kW/29.5 HP gross power, around 3.675 t working weight, and a 0.044-0.13 m3 bucket capacity, this compact machine offers more than enough for tough work and confined-space sectors. It features a small swing radius, boom swing, and a highly efficient auxiliary hydraulic flow rate, providing a versatile range of applications for any attachment. The large operator’s cab space, X-frame undercarriage, and comprehensive machine condition monitoring make operation even more rewarding.

PC81-10M0 - Next-Generation Fuel-Efficiency

Komatsu India Private Limited has introduced the new PC81-10M0 model. Komatsu launched this excavator on 26th July. The new PC81-10M0 is designed to deliver higher excavation efficiency at performance levels above current excavators. This 7.45-tonne excavator balances performance, fuel efficiency, toughness, and operator comfort. The new machine weighs 7450 kg. It is powered by a Komatsu DLA033 engine that delivers an optimum 42.3kW/56.7 HP at gross power, and it also includes a system with Closed Centre Load Sensing (CLSS) hydraulics, Power, Economy, and ATT mode selections, plus an optimised hydraulic circuit. It also features a spacious ROPS cab, a large touchscreen display, and a KOMTRAX remote machine monitoring system with advanced features that take work to the next level in ease of operation and machine management.

PC205-10M0 - Low Operating Costs and High Output

The PC205-10M0 is a general-purpose, mid-sized hydraulic excavator designed to combine high production performance with operating efficiency and durability. With 110 kW (148 HP) gross power and around 20.3-20.9 weight, it is available with 0.85 m3- 1.0 m3 bucket capacity. This is achieved through improved work equipment and swing-circle rigidity, low hydraulic piping loss, a fuel-efficient system, and enhanced operability through a spacious ROPS cab, rearview monitor, KOMTRAX machine-monitoring system, and other advanced functions, all aimed at preventing breakdowns of major machine parts.

PC225LC-10M0 - Rugged Excavation Tasks

The PC225LC-10M0 is the solution for heavy-duty excavating and earthmoving. This machine is designed for infrastructure construction, construction projects, quarry work, and earthmoving operations. It is the solution for companies and users who need strong digging, carrying, and lifetime capacities. With these six machine presentations of Komatsu's excavators–ranging from mini-excavators in confined spaces up to earthmoving machinery for highly economical work processes-the wide product range for all applications is represented. PC225LC-10M0 belongs to the well-proven Komatsu PC225LC series of hydraulic excavators.

D85ESS-2A - Proven Dozer Power

Komatsu's crawler dozer D85ESS-2A completes the line-up. Designed for earthmoving and dozing, this machine requires substantial capability—for example, the Komatsu diesel-engine S6D125E-2 generates 149 kW (200 HP). Weighing 20.67 tonnes (approx.), the standard straight-tilt dozer also offers large load capacity, protected tilt lines, a Komatsu Torqflow transmission, and robust multi-disk wet brakes. The modular, service-friendly powertrain provides durability for difficult tasks.

Smart Construction: Connecting Machines, Data and People

The highlight of Komatsu India's participation will be Smart Construction Technology. Today, the scope of work in the construction industry is no longer confined to handling more material, but to data-enabled decision-making with connected machinery. Digital transformation is already evident in KOMTRAX remote machine management and in KOMTRAX, alongside Smart Construction solutions. In 2026, Komatsu India Private Limited is expected to showcase a Smart Construction Teleoperation Cockpit featuring a Komatsu hydraulic excavator thousands of kilometres away in Japan, demonstrating how remote machine operation improves operator efficiency, eases labour shortages, and enhances worker safety in extreme or hazardous conditions. Bauma CONEXPO INDIA 2026 needs to be a showcase not just for a machine, but an experience. Visitors should be impressed by how machines, connectivity, and digital offerings combine to create ‘Smart Sites’-enabling maximum uptime, productivity, efficiency, preventive maintenance, and commercial benefit.
