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.

“Sandvik is committed to manufacture products, which are safe and reasonably practicable considering the environment of use,” says Simon Meester, President Sales Unit, Sandvik Mining and Construction, India. In an exclusive chat with EQUIPMENT INDIA, Simon talks about the market trends in drills and its accessories.

Sandvik has been in India for more than 50 years and we think we are in a perfect position to support India's rapid economic growth. Our customers in India have known us for a long time and know what we can do for them.
