power grid and transmission technologies, and zero emission vehicles, among others. GlobalData is currently tracking industrial construction projects in South Asia with a total value of $523.4bn, which includes projects from announcement to execution stages. Of the total, India’s industrial project pipeline accounts for $481bn. The overall pipeline in the region is skewed
towards the early stage, with projects in the pre-planning and planning stages accounting for 74.1% of projects by value, totalling $387.6bn in value. Assuming all projects move ahead as planned, spending may rise from $44bn in 2025 to $130.4bn in 2026. The largest project in the pipeline is the $24.4bn Odisha Semiconductor Manufacturing Facility in Odisha, India, which is currently in the planning stage and will complete in H2 2027. The project will be developed in phases, with an investment of $3.6bn in the first phase.

From your perspective, how is the Southeast Asia market performing at the moment? Within the SEA region, we still have a lot of potential for growth. Especially when we are targeting partnering with the end user and government sectors to do more on achieving our LEEA mission. The region demand for LEEA Accredited Training Courses is also growing, which gives us the opportunity partner with more training centres to meet the demand.
What new members have you onboarded recently in the region? We have a mixture of new members from inspection companies, such as TUV Nord Malaysia, PT PJ-Tek Mandiri, PT. Baraca Teknis Spesialis, and also from training companies such as SEATAG Australasian Services Pte. Ltd, and Slings suppliers such as Mega Sling & Services Sdn Bhd.
VINALIFT INSTALLS 12.5-TON OVERHEAD CRANE AT PETROCHEMICAL COMPLEX
Vietnamese lifting equipment provider Vinalift has designed, manufactured and installed a 12.5-ton overhead crane at the Southern Petrochemical Complex Project in Vung Tau City, Vietnam. The double girder overhead crane, installed in a designated safe area, adheres to quality and occupational safety standards. It facilitates the loading, unloading, and transportation of materials and equipment at the petrochemical complex. The crane features a single hook with
360° free rotation, a lifting height of 8.25m with a maximum of 10m, and a crane span of 10.8m. It operates along a runway length of approximately 50m, powered by a 380V, three-phase, 50Hz supply with a control voltage of 48V. Operators can control the crane via remote control or push pendant control. Designed to FEM 1.001 standards, the crane falls under FEM 2m/ISO M5 duty class and functions within an operating temperature range of 0°C to +40°C.
The structure is constructed from SS400
steel, with a maximum wheel load of 105kN.
per minute, a trolley travel speed of 20/5.0m per minute, and a crane travel speed of 30/5.0m per minute. It features a lifting motor of 9.0/1.4kW, a
trolley travel motor of 1.25/0.32 kW, and a crane travel motor of 1.25/0.32kW, all equipped with a DC brake system. Also, the crane comes with enhanced
safety features such as an overload protection device, a lifting limit switch, and cross and long travel limit switches.
