A Delhi-based contract mining services provider, Mala Kumar Engineers Pvt Ltd (MKEPL) has been unearthing India?s mineral potential by offering its mining expertise to the largest public and private sector enterprises, ever since 1984.

Talking about the company?s development, Abhishek Kumar, Director, says, ?Over the last two decades, the company has continually diversified its capabilities and scope of operations offering turnkey solutions to organizations across India to emerge as a leader in its business domain.? With a team comprising professionals of unprecedented calibre, every engineer, auditor and manager ensures effective results from proposal to completion. Today, after two decades in the industry, MKEPL is proud to have sourced the best minerals and employees as well.

Unprecedented unearthing
Digging deeper into every possibility in the world of mining, earthwork and engineering, MKEPL has proven its mettle with its expertise in mining, quarrying, earthwork, feasibility audits, mine planning, material handling, logistics, rental of new and used heavy machines and ancillary equipment. This has been possible with equipment from Volvo CE.

Fleet with mettle
About the Volvo CE equipment used in various projects across verticals, Sanjiv Kumar, Managing Director, says, ?In the business of mining, it?s extremely important to plan and execute every project meticulously to meet the cost targets and Volvo equipment contribute immensely in this aspect.? A sharp mind in recognising opportunities, he adds, ?Volvo offers the best CE.? He justifies his words by saying, ?In mining and earthwork, you need equipment that are sturdy and strong, yet easy to operate with. Moreover, fuel efficiency and load are a few things that we need to keep in mind before we begin a big project. And Volvo CE has never let us down.?

According to Sanjiv, MKEPL owns a Volvo CE fleet that includes an EC480, EC380, EC210 and an EC290 crawler excavator and a rock breaker. He adds, ?It is with this fleet we have completed prestigious projects for Steel Authority of India, National Thermal Power Corporation, National Highways Authority of India, Rajasthan State Mines and Minerals, Bharat Coking Coal and Oriental Structural Engineers, to name a few. Currently, we are entering core mining with a 54 hectare stone quarry in Haryana through a joint venture, and we have entrusted Volvo CE to ensure smart and profitable execution of the project.?

The Volvo CE discovery
MKEPL has been doing a fantastic job with its mining, earthwork and engineering. There are many firsts in the industry to their credit: first company to get a BCCL overburden handling job, first company to execute NHAI and DMRC Delhi project. With more than 20 years of experience under its belt, the company has achieved remarkable milestones. No wonder, when it comes to equipment, it deals with the best too. Talking about the Volvo CE dealer, Abhishek says, ?Our dealer for Volvo CE is Alpha Teknisk Pvt Ltd and the after sales service is provided by Navin Infrasolutions Pvt Ltd.? He further adds, ?A dealer or service provider both need to be proficient and efficient. They must know what to deliver, when to deliver and how to deliver. Also, someone who understands emergency, sales, after sales service and the nitty-gritty of machines.? He joyfully adds ?We found all of this with our Volvo CE dealer and sales service provider.?

Abhishek sums it up, ?There?s a unanimous thought process between companies that partner to work on projects which are bound to bring a change at a macro level. It?s the same with Volvo CE and us. Our core values are commitment to the highest standards of quality in services, coupled with a determination to ensure the occupational health, safety and welfare of all our employees, while sustaining harmony with the environment and its wider community.?
