India Tower Crane Market Trends:

Growing Adoption of Rental Tower Cranes by Construction Firms

The tower crane rental model is becoming increasingly prominent in India as construction firms seek cost-effective solutions for temporary infrastructure projects. High capital investment and maintenance costs associated with owning cranes have pushed contractors toward rental services, especially for short-term or project-specific needs. Rental providers are now offering technologically advanced tower cranes with flexible leasing terms, on-site service support, and real-time monitoring capabilities. This trend is enabling smaller contractors and regional developers to access high-capacity cranes without substantial upfront investment. The rental ecosystem is expanding in tier-1 and tier-2 cities, driven by rapid residential and commercial development. Furthermore, foreign players entering the Indian rental space are contributing to a more organized and efficient crane rental market. For instance, in February 2024, Potain announced that Tata Projects is using five Potain tower cranes to build the upcoming Noida International Airport near New Delhi, which will become India’s largest airport. Tata purchased two MCT 565 A topless tower cranes and rented three MCT 385 A cranes from Rental Partners. Manitowoc Lift Solutions customized the MCT 565 A cranes to extend the jib length from 80 to 85 meters, improving job site coverage. The cranes are handling major lifting tasks on the terminal building, expected to be completed by the end of 2024.

Surge in Demand for Flat-Top and Luffing Jib Tower Cranes

Demand for flat-top and luffing jib tower cranes is rising across India due to space constraints and height requirements in urban construction. These crane types are favored in densely populated cities where multiple cranes operate simultaneously and minimal over-swing is critical. For instance, as per industry reports, Delhi-NCR contributes nearly 35% of India’s tower crane business, driven by rising real estate and infrastructure projects. Manufacturers such as Potain, ACE, Zoomlion-ElectroMech, Liebherr, Comansa, Spartan, and Anupam are capitalizing on the demand for high-capacity cranes, particularly for precast and high-rise construction. Flat-top cranes reduce erection time and simplify transportation while luffing jib cranes offer flexible operations in confined zones. Infrastructure developers are prioritizing these cranes for high-rise residential, commercial complexes, and metro station developments. Manufacturers are responding by expanding their product range with localized modifications to meet Indian climatic and operational conditions. The increasing complexity of urban projects is reinforcing the relevance of such specialized cranes, encouraging further innovation and diversification in crane design and deployment strategies.
