Fast-growing Indian real estate company Aparna Group expands with major order for Potain cranes

• Aparna Group is boosting its capabilities with a large number of Potain MCT 85 cranes. The company now has over 40 cranes in its fleet.
• The latest deliveries have been put straight to work on a mix of the company’s high-profile real estate projects. 

Leading Indian construction company Aparna Group has announced a significant expansion of its fleet with the addition of multiple Potain MCT 85 top-slewing tower cranes. These new cranes are playing a vital role in a range of high-rise developments that highlight the company’s ongoing dedication to bringing innovation and quality to the Hyderabad skyline. The cranes are divided among four major luxury projects: 

• Aparna Sarovar Towers - A high-rise tower development with 50 floors, spanning over 5 acres, featuring three towers with four podiums and a total of 585 residential units.
• Aparna Greenscapes - A luxury gated community spread over 13.9 acres, comprising 3-, 4-, and 5-bedroom luxury apartments.
• Aparna New Lands – Situated on 14+ acres in a prime location, this project boasts eight high-rise towers with 42 floors and a total of 1,976 units.
• Aparna Synergy – A vast development covering 28+ acres, featuring 3,345 high-end apartments across 15 towers.

Ediga Srinivasulu, head of supply chain management for Aparna Group, said:

“Tower cranes are the backbone of our projects. The performance and reliability of Potain cranes empower our team and give them the confidence to keep our projects on track. Our latest, substantial investment in new Potain cranes represents an important step for Aparna Group in further enhancing our construction capabilities. With Potain’s durability and reliability, we are well-equipped to continue delivering high-quality projects on time.” 

Aparna Group acquired its first Potain crane, a Potain MCi 85, in 2012, and has since expanded its fleet to over 40 cranes. Its latest investments are all MCT 85 models, which are manufactured locally at the Manitowoc factory in Pune. 

The cranes were selected for their powerful performance and compact design. Their design includes a 1.2 m square mast that enables them to be set up inside elevator shafts on projects, optimizing space and offering maximum coverage. The MCT 85 also features a maximum load capacity of 5 t and a jib length of up to 52 m, with a tip load of 1.1 t at full reach, providing exceptional versatility and precision. Another major benefit is the flat-top design for faster assembly, which also helps Aparna Group streamline its construction operations.

Customer support is provided by the local Manitowoc team in India who help keep uptime to an absolute maximum, as Purna Prasad, general manager – supply chain, noted: 

“Potain’s extensive inventory of spare parts and quick response times have been crucial in helping us manage our fleet. The high level of service we receive is a key factor in our long-standing relationship, and our decision to add these latest units.”

Aparna Group’s investment in Potain reflects the company’s commitment to delivering high-quality, environmentally responsible developments. With a growing demand for high-rise construction in India, Aparna Group will use its expanded fleet to tackle larger and more complex projects, solidifying the company’s position as one of South India’s largest integrated real estate groups.
