Tata Hitachi formerly known as Telcon (originally a division of Tata Motors) has been in the forefront of the Construction Equipment business since the early 1960s. A technical collaboration with Hitachi Construction Machinery Limited (HCM), Japan started in 1984 for the manufacture of world class hydraulic excavators in India. The Construction Equipment business was made an independent entity in 1999 and over the years HCM acquired stake in this entity (currently at 60%, the rest being with Tata Motors). Telcon is now Tata Hitachi Construction Machinery Company Limited. The new brand identity was launched on 4th December 2012.
