In February this year, the board of ACE had approved the proposal for formation of a joint venture in India as part of the company's medium to long-term growth and international collaboration strategy.

KATO Works is a globally recognised construction equipment manufacturer with decades of experience in the design, development and manufacture of mobile cranes, excavators and related construction machinery. KATO has an established international footprint and is known for its engineering capabilities, product reliability and technological expertise.

The proposed joint venture will bring together the global technology, design, and engineering expertise of KATO Works with ACE's strong manufacturing base, extensive market reach, and operational capabilities in India.

This collaboration is expected to enhance the company's product competitiveness by improving performance and cost efficiency, while also enabling the partners to address new growth opportunities across domestic and international markets.

Upon completion of the closing actions as stipulated under the agreement, ACE and KATO shall each hold 50% shareholding in the JV company.

Action Construction Equipment is the world's largest pick & carry cranes manufacturer and a leading construction equipment manufacturer in India.

The company's consolidated net profit rose 4.24% to Rs 116.41 crore despite a 2.34% fall in revenue to Rs 854.63 crore in Q3 FY26 as compared with Q3 FY25.

The scrip fell 2.07% to currently trade at Rs 846.55 on the BSE.
