Ltd. has proposed a Rs 1,256 crore earthmoving equipment manufacturing facility on about 150 acres in Anakapalli district, Andhra Pradesh, with around 1,400 jobs planned in the first phase. The [Times of India](https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/vijayawada/lokesh-to-lay-foundation-for-dozco-plant-on-jan-12/articleshow/135840980.cms) reported that state IT and electronics minister Nara Lokesh is expected to lay the foundation stone on January 12, 2027, though the date and his participation are yet to be officially confirmed.\n\n## Dozco's Makavarapalem Site and Job Plans\n\nThe proposed plant would come up at Yerakannapalem in Rachapalli village of Makavarapalem mandal. Assembly speaker Chintakayala Ayyannapatrudu disclosed details of the project after company representatives met him and explained their plans. The unit will manufacture earthmoving equipment and is expected to add to industrial activity in the Narsipatnam region.\n\nUnder the proposed employment plan, around 1,400 people would get jobs in the first phase, with another 2,000 opportunities expected in the second phase. The state government has identified approximately 406 acres of government land in Survey No. 737 within the Rachapalli revenue limits for industrial development. Of that, 150 acres have been allotted to Dozco, while another 24 acres have been earmarked for an MSME park, and the remaining land is being considered for other industrial investments.\n\nCompany representatives, accompanied by construction experts from Russia, have already visited the proposed site in Survey No. 737 as part of preliminary preparations. Dozco is an Indian manufacturer and authorized distributor of construction, mining and infrastructure equipment, including Yanmar mini excavators, Shantui dozers and EV loaders, and its own hydraulic rock breakers, undercarriage parts and attachments, according to [akta.pro company records](https://akta.pro/company-data). The company was established in 1983 in Dhanbad and is headquartered in Visakhapatnam.\n\n## Dozco's Recent Product and Deal Moves\n\nThe same records list a 2025 product launch of Shantui EV Loaders at Excon 2025 in Bangalore, which took Dozco into the electric construction equipment segment with zero-emission wheel loaders distributed under its Shantui partnership. In 2024, Dozco completed the full acquisition of the Italtractor ITM-DOZCO India joint venture entity, consolidating undercarriage manufacturing technology in-house. The records also list a 2024 KEMROC-DOZCO partnership to launch cutter attachments for trenching, profiling and rock cutting applications.\n\n## January 2027 Foundation Stone Date\n\nThe foundation stone ceremony is expected on January 12, 2027, according to the Times of India report, which states that the date and Lokesh's participation have not been officially confirmed.\n","publisher":{"name":"News for Agent","url":"https://newsforagent.com"}}
