Dynapac Machines Deployed on Prestigious Palkhi Marg Project in Maharashtra

The Palkhi Marg holds deep significance as a pathway of faith for devotees of Lord Vitthal. Every year, thousands of ‘warkaris’ embark on a spiritual journey to the temple town of Pandharpur in Maharashtra. With the vision to create a Bhakti Marg and ensure the safety and convenience of the devotees, Prime Minister Narendra Modi laid the foundation stone for the Sant Dnyaneshwar Maharaj Palkhi Marg and Sant Tukaram Maharaj Palkhi Marg in November 2021. The project is fast nearing completion and is likely to be commissioned before the year-end.


Dynapac machines are playing a vital role in constructing the dedicated walkways on both sides of the Palkhi Marg. These walkways serve as secure passages for the Palkhis and the warkaris, ensuring their safe journey towards Pandharpur. Dynapac’s team of experts worked with contractors looking at the application to pick the right equipment, while a team of operating personnel were trained on the usage and maintenance of the machines.

The project demonstrates the company’s commitment to preserving and honoring the spiritual legacy of Maharashtra and by delivering exceptional machinery, Dynapac has left an indelible mark on this transformative project.

Dynapac’s Aftermarket Support

To ensure seamless operations, Dynapac assigned a dedicated service engineer, who also underwent specialized training on maintenance of the machines. The company’s engineering team regularly inspect the condition of the filtration systems, replacing them where necessary. The team also conducts regular checks on the display units to identify and resolve any error codes, ensuring uninterrupted performance. In view of the importance of the project, the Dynapac service team has felt duty bound to ensure smooth functioning of the machines with minimum downtime.

Dynapac Machines at Work

Dynapac machines are designed to perform efficiently, deliver quality results, high productivity, jobsite safety, timely serviceability and give low cost of ownership. A total of 41 Dynapac machines are being used in this project. Features of some are given below:

Dynapac 13-ton soil compactor CA385D: Use of this machine has resulted in a shorter completion time due to its enhanced static linear load of approximately 39 kg/cm. This feature led to fewer passes while also improving fuel efficiency. Dynapac’s patented design of efficient eccentrics results in reducing energy consumption at start-up by 50%.

Dynapac 9.7m paver SD2530CS, 13m paver SD2550CS, and 9m paver SD2500C: A standout feature of these pavers is the utilization of the most stable screeds available. These screeds employ a 4-tube principle design, which offers ease of assembly, reducing the time required for setup. They also eliminate the need for supporting rods, even when working with large paving widths.

To optimize the paving process and ensure timely maintenance, Dynapac pavers are equipped with the Dyn@link Advance telematic system that enables optimal paving parameters and monitors the performance of the pavers. With Dyn@link, users can track fuel consumption, receive service alerts for uninterrupted operation, set geofencing parameters, and check engine parameters, among other functionalities. This comprehensive monitoring capability is essential for maximizing machine uptime throughout the project.

CC425 tandem roller: Its advanced safety components include a seat switch sensor, 120-degree swivel seat, and lever interlock system for operator safety. Dyn@link Basic technology provides geofencing, live status updates, and theft alerts. With a serviceability of 500 hours and a high-pressure sprinkler nozzle for complete drum coverage, it guarantees top-notch performance. Equipped with a dual-side water tank filling positions and a segment-leading 800-litre capacity, it offers the best compaction results with uniform weight distribution for outstanding productivity.

14-ton CP275 pneumatic roller: With its durable construction and robust design, this roller delivers exceptional performance while requiring low maintenance. It not only saves time but also reduces overall project costs, making it a cost-effective solution.

Customer Feedback

Pritam Mhatre, Director, JM Mhatre Infra: “During the past 7 years of our association with Dynapac, we have seen an impressive fleet expansion. At present, we have deployed 32 Dynapac machines such as pavers, compactors, and baby rollers in different projects. The company’s aftermarket support and service are also consistent and reliable. Their pavers especially require minimum maintenance, and our operators find working with Dynapac machines easy, quick, and efficient.”

R. K. Chavan, Managing Director, RKC Infrastructure: “We are using Dynapac equipment in two Palkhi Mahamarg projects and have found their productivity and efficiency highly commendable. Plus, we are very satisfied with the support provided by the Dynapac team as they have a very diligent approach to after-sales service.”
