Horizon C&D and Rentease Join Forces to Strengthen India’s Infrastructure Equipment Supply Chain

Horizon C&D and Rentease have formed a strategic partnership to bolster India’s infrastructure equipment market. By combining Horizon C&D’s high-quality equipment supply with Rentease’s local marketing and distribution network, the collaboration aims to accelerate infrastructure projects, optimize equipment lifecycle management, and build a robust supply chain ecosystem across India.

Horizon C&D, a leading equipment rental company in China and the first Asian aerial work equipment rental firm, is committed to delivering multifunctional and comprehensive services to construction and industrial clients. The company has officially signed a strategic cooperation agreement with RentEase International LLP, one of India’s fastest-growing and most prominent aerial work platform rental companies and service providers.

The signing ceremony brought together key teams from both China and India, including Yu Guang, Deputy General Manager of Horizon C&D, Xie Guangbin, General Manager, Investment and M&A Department of Horizon C&D, Wang Hao, Senior Director, Asset Sales Department of Horizon C&D, Meghraj Singh, Founding Partner of the Aerial Platform Association of India (APAOI) and Chairman of Rentease and Vipul Tulsian, Managing Partner of RentEase International LLP.

The partnership focuses on an “aerial work equipment supply + local marketing” model, strategically targeting the rapidly expanding Indian infrastructure equipment market. Beyond strengthening the business foundations of both companies, this collaboration injects new momentum into India’s infrastructure sector, promising faster, more efficient, and higher-quality project execution.

During discussions, Vipul Tulsian, Managing Partner of RentEase, shared key industry insights supporting the collaboration: India, as one of the world’s fastest-growing economies, is expected to become the third-largest global economy in the coming years. Infrastructure is the core engine of this growth, with plans to invest US$1.727 trillion from 2025 to 2030 across power, roads, renewable energy, subways, airports, and industrial projects—offering extensive opportunities for the equipment rental industry.

The Indian construction equipment rental market is entering a rapid growth phase, with a projected compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.48% from 2025 to 2035. High-quality equipment supply chains have become a key competitive advantage for enterprises, laying a strong foundation for the collaboration between Horizon C&D and Rentease.

Xie Guangbin, General Manager of the Investment and M&A Department at Horizon C&D, said, “The growth potential of India’s infrastructure market is evident, and a high-quality equipment supply chain remains a key gap. Horizon C&D is committed to providing a stable supply for the Indian market through standardized second-hand equipment resources and full life cycle management capabilities. On the supply side, we ensure equipment quality compliance and supply stability, bridging the gap in high-quality second-hand equipment in India.”

Meghraj Singh, Chairman and Managing Director of Rentease, said, “RentEase has built a strong foothold in India’s rental market by leveraging a wide-reaching distribution network across key infrastructure sectors. Our integrated approach covers every stage of equipment deployment—from targeted marketing and seamless client coordination to prompt delivery and post-sales support. This ensures that our advanced machinery, including boom lifts, scissor lifts, and specialized access platforms, meets the specific demands of critical projects in energy, transportation, and aviation. By streamlining deployment, we accelerate project timelines and enhance operational efficiency across the infrastructure landscape.”

Wang Hao, Senior Director of Horizon C&D’s Asset Sales Department, added, “This partnership is expected to generate multiple benefits for both sides: Horizon C&D can expand its full life cycle management chain, improve asset turnover, optimize product lines through local market data, and enhance international product adaptability. Meanwhile, Rentease will stabilize the local supply chain of high-quality equipment and extend maintenance services with technical support, further consolidating its market advantages.”

Yu Guang, Deputy General Manager of Horizon C&D, concluded, “This cooperation reflects a strategic understanding of India’s infrastructure opportunities and a model for Chinese and Indian enterprises to complement each other while expanding internationally. Going forward, the companies plan to deepen cooperation, expand equipment categories, and explore an ‘equipment + maintenance + technology’ ecosystem—upgrading from business collaboration to capability co-construction.”

The partnership between Horizon C&D and Rentease not only provides efficient equipment support for India’s infrastructure projects but also promotes the integration of both companies’ products and services into the global market. Together, they aim to build a high-quality supply chain ecosystem, drive sustained China-India industrial synergy, and create a win-win chapter in cross-border cooperation.
