Sandvik Mining & Rock Technology India: Robust & Reliable Tunnelling Jumbos

What trends do you foresee in the market for Sandvik tunnelling equipment and technology?

Manojit Haldar - Managing Director and President, Sandvik Mining and Rock Technology India Pvt. Ltd.

We are very optimistic about the growth in the Tunnelling sector - be it tunnelling in Roads, Railways, Hydro, or Border Roads. We see a potential market of 40-50 machines year on year in the next 5-6 years, but the market is still price sensitive.

Our customers have seen the benefits of using Sandvik machines with semi-automatic and fully automatic features in reducing the overall costs or in optimizing the costs for fixing the over-breaks or under-breaks. We use these technologies for increasing the drilling accuracy.
