BEML has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Italy-based Tesmec S.p.A. to introduce advanced surface miner technology for Indian mining operations. The collaboration seeks to enhance productivity, reduce environmental impact, and promote sustainable mining practices through state-of-the-art equipment designed for precision excavation and reduced dust emissions.

Under the agreement, both companies will explore localisation opportunities to manufacture surface miners and allied equipment in India, aligning with the ‘Make in India’ initiative. The partnership will also focus on developing after-sales service and technical support to meet the growing demand for efficient mining solutions in coal, limestone, and other mineral sectors.

The alliance between BEML and Tesmec underscores a shared commitment to advancing mechanised mining, optimising operational safety, and supporting India’s ambition to become a global hub for mining technology innovation.
