Allison automatic transmissions deployed on Shar Projects’ new XCMG fleet
Allison Transmission, the global leader in propulsion solutions for commercial and defence vehicles, says it is significantly expanding its footprint and investment in India. This growth is driven by strategic initiatives across multiple sectors, including mining, reinforcing Allison’s commitment to India’s ‘Make in India’ initiative and broader industrial modernisation efforts.
In the Indian mining sector, Allison says its industry-leading value proposition continues to drive business expansion by contributing to the nation’s infrastructure development and resource extraction efficiency. Shar Projects Private Ltd has significantly expanded its fleet with SANY and XCMG wide-body dump trucks (WBDs) equipped with the Allison 4800 fully automatic transmission. The company, which manages Mine Developer and Operator (MDO) projects, recently ordered an additional 100 XCMG wide body trucks, citing Allison’s consistent reliability and performance in challenging environments.
“Allison transmissions are an ideal fit for the demanding conditions at MDO sites like Pakur in Jharkhand,” said Amar Kanth Mishra, Head Technical of Shar Projects Private Ltd. “They’ve consistently delivered the reliability and performance we need in these environments. With the addition of XCMG WBD trucks to our fleet, we’re confident that Allison’s technology will continue to support our growth and operational excellence across current and future projects.”
These developments are supported by Allison’s capital investment in the region. The company’s state of the art facility expansion in Chennai is expected to begin initial production in Q1 2026, ramping to full capacity in 2027. It states: “This strategic investment not only reinforces Allison’s ability to meet increasing demand across global markets, but also solidifies the company’s role as a key partner in India’s industrial growth.”
