As the second largest sugar producer in the world, India has attached great importance to the development of sugarcane production mechanization in recent years, with mechanized harvesting being a strategic focus and the main direction of efforts. Zoomlion was invited to participate in the seminar, where it shared its achievements in the field of comprehensive mechanization of sugarcane production in China. Furthermore, Zoomlion introduced the overall mechanization solutions, which was well received by the participants, by taking into account the local sugarcane growing environment, agronomic conditions and the characteristics of the sugar industry in India. During the conference, the delegates also visited Zoomlion's booth and observed the demonstration of AC60 sugarcane harvester.

In order to better meet the needs of Indian customers, Zoomlion conducted comprehensive research on crops, soil, climate, agronomy and users in the Indian market area before the AC60 sugarcane harvester was launched, and conducted a lot of tests to verify the high efficiency, reliability and adaptability of the product. The product is equipped with a 190hp Indo-4 engine and an intelligent control system, featuring strong power, energy saving and consumption reduction, low trash content, low maintenance cost and long service life, etc., which is well accepted by local users. At the same time, Zoomlion also built a "localized" marketing and service network and parts centre in India, which improved the response speed and support of the service and laid a solid foundation for Zoomlion's agricultural machinery to take root in the Indian market.
