JCB sources said the company was looking forward to start exports from India to West Asian countries, beginning with Turkey by the end of next year. Mr Taylor is in India along with his team comprising Alan Blake, Group Manufacturing Director, JCB UK, and Vipin Sondhi, MD & CEO, JCB India. Speaking to ET, Mr Taylor confirmed that he is in India to discuss the investment proposals of the company with the Haryana CM. "We are keen to invest in Haryana further.

We are consolidating and enhancing our capacities so as to cater not just to the Indian market, but to the overseas market as well from here," said Mr Taylor.
