據(jù)11月21日Hindu報道，通力（印度）公司總經(jīng)理Amit Gossain表示，受到新冠肺炎疫情影響，印度的房地產業(yè)緩慢復蘇，電梯行業(yè)也受到制約。“我們還沒有回到新冠肺炎疫情前的水平，” Amit Gossain說，“目前的水平大概是原來的65-70％。房地產行業(yè)正在慢慢恢復并且進展緩慢。”。他補充道，由于房地產是電梯行業(yè)的主要客戶，因此2020年對于電梯行業(yè)而言，將是負增長的一年。Amit Gossain說，通力正在減少2020年和2021年的資本支出，盡管支持金額“將在稍后決定”。不過，他聽起來很樂觀，他說：“我們確實認為房地產業(yè)的復蘇速度將超過大多數(shù)人的預期。”關于印度作為研發(fā)中心的崛起，Amit Gossain說，目前印度的9個技術開發(fā)中心都全力支持“通力未來解決方案的開發(fā)”。

KONE INDIA LEADER: SLOW PANDEMIC RECOVERY HURTING VT

Amit Gossain, managing director of KONE India, says the nation's vertical-transportation (VT) industry is being hampered by the real estate industry's slow recovery from the pandemic, The Hindu reported on November 21. "We haven't come back to our pre-COVID-19 levels," Gossain said. "We are at about 65-70%. Real estate is taking its own time and going slow." He added that 2020 will be a year of negative growth for the VT industry, as real estate is a key client. Gossain said KONE is reducing capital expenditures for 2020 and 2021, though the amount "will be decided later." He sounded an optimistic note, however, saying, "we do think that the real estate industry will have a faster recovery than most people expect." Regarding India's emergence as a hub for R&D, Gossain said the country's nine technology-development centers support the "development of future KONE solutions."
