Unlocking the mining potential

The future of the Indian mining equipment market looks good with opportunities in underground mining and surface mining.

The mining sector is poised to make significant strides

Epiroc covers a wide range of underground equipment needs with production and face drill rigs, loaders and trucks.

Ensuring ease of operation

The portable air compressors of Atlas Copco, deployed at the metro project near the famous Siddhivinayak Temple, contribute to ease traffic woes in Mumbai.

Our core values are interaction, innovation and commitment

In 2015, we have seen an inflow of volume business for rotary blast hole drills from state-owned enterprises involved with coal mining and we expect the trend to continue in April-June 2015 period as well.

Mining Growth

India is on track to overtake the US as the second-largest coal consumer after China this decade. India wants to more than double coal output to 1.5 billion tonne by 2020. The central government has already taken specific actions including e-auctions of coal blocks; 28 blocks are already allocated and more blocks to be e-auctioned soon.

Mining Potential

With the growing demand for increased output of coal and iron ore and other minerals, the demand for mining equipment and machinery is expected grow manifold.

Realising the mining potential

L2D Boomer

Breakthrough technologyA heavy-duty and high speed rock drill has been incorporated, for face drilling and long-hole drilling with a hole range of 38-64 mm. This makes for high penetration rates and excellent drill steel economy.

Our equipment are focused on better process management, time and cost saving.

By virtue of our acquisition of GIA AB and MEYCO in 2011 and 2013 subsequently, Atlas Copco is the preferred partner for major construction companies to complement their tunne?lling operations with shotcrete machines, locomotives, ventilation systems, conti?nuous loading machines, pipe-roofing and radial bolting system, grouting equipment.

Making of the Pir Panjal Railway Tunnel

One of the challenging and marvelous projects in Indian civil engineering history the pir panjal railway tunnel, India?s first longest Railway Tunnel (10.96 km) for transportation, was executed by HCC.

Sandvik's Jumbo Drill at Work

Four Sandvik DT 820 underground drill rigs have virtually completed drill and blast duties on more than 6 km of tunnelling for Hindustan Construction (HCC), producing in excess of 1.8 million tonne of rock spoil on the country's first crude oil storage caverns at Vizag.

Sandvik Jumbos on the Job

Indian contractor Hindustan Construction Company is using four Sandvik DT820 underground drill rigs to construct the country's first underground crude oil storage cavern at Vizag, Andhra Pradesh.
