In an exclusive interview with Equipment India, a sister publication of Construction World, the head of mining equipment business at L&T, Partha Mookherjee shares information on the current scenario of mining sector in India.

Speaking on the commercial coal mine auctions as a demand driver for mining equipment market, he adds, “As per tender norms, some of the mines shall be deploying mega-size of mining equipment. Thus, through commercial coal mining, India will join the leading mining nations, in terms of scale and size of mining equipment deployed.”
