Epiroc Breaks Ground on New Production & R&D Facility in Nashik

Epiroc AB, a leading productivity and sustainability partner for the mining and infrastructure industries, has broken ground on a new production and R&D facility in Nashik, India. The initiative underscores Epiroc’s commitment to support customers in India and across global markets with high-quality, safe, and productive solutions.

The upcoming site will focus on the development, innovation, and production of underground and surface mining and construction equipment. The facility will house production and prototyping units, an R&D lab, office spaces, and an outdoor equipment test track, covering an area of around 175,000 m². Operations are expected to begin in the third quarter of 2026, with phased developments planned in subsequent years.

“The new facility in Nashik is a key step in further expanding our presence in the growing and very important Indian market, and it will also support our customers globally,” says Helena Hedblom, Epiroc’s President and CEO.

Epiroc has production and innovation facilities in several Indian locations, including Nashik, and has around 1 750 employees in the country, including a large and growing R&D organization. In April this year, Epiroc inaugurated an expanded manufacturing facility for rock drilling tools in Hyderabad, and last year it opened a new innovation and technology center in the same city.

The new site in Nashik will create local employment opportunities, adding approximately 200 new direct positions to Epiroc’s current workforce of around 280 in Nashik.

“We are excited about this further expansion in India, where we see significant growth potential,” says Arunkumar Govindarajan, President Epiroc India. “We look forward to continuing to be the productivity and sustainability partner for our local and global customers through this investment. The new facility also supports our ‘Make in India’ initiatives.”
