What is your view of IMME as a trade show in terms of the value it offers to the stakeholders of the construction equipment sector and the allied sectors – particularly the mining sector?
IMME is the largest focused mining industry exhibition in India, featuring industry leaders across the globe showcasing their latest technologies. The primary focus is on accelerating the Momentum in Mining as well as private sector participation. It’s the platform to showcase the latest and diverse range of mining machinery, equipment, advanced technology solutions, services, and supplies from India and abroad to address the critical issues that impact the industry.
What are the challenges and suggestions to iron out those challenges in the sector?
One of the major challenges in the mining sector is sliding productivity and spiraling costs, therefore strategies are needed for reclaiming efficiency in the mining sector.
“VELVEX has a range of technologically advanced & premium lubricants that can help mining organizations enhance operational efficiency & meet their productivity challenges” says Mr. Hrishikesh Kulkarni, CEO at NPL.
Large construction excavators work in the harshest environments and require premium lubricants and coolants to achieve high-level reliability and performance at the lowest total operating costs. From bulldozers, dump trucks, and draglines to scrapers and shovels, heavy earthmoving equipment, excavators, and breakers, all construction, and mining equipment are subject to work in harsh, dusty, and critical conditions. The mining business relies on premium lubricants to help reduce downtime and prevent unscheduled maintenance.
Velvex with an extensive lubricants portfolio provides customers with solutions which cut cost and drive productivity.
The other key challenge in the Mining & Construction industry which is going to face in near future is the availability of genuine Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF), this product has a significant impact on the performance of the equipment and low-quality DEF will also lead to higher cost of replacements and higher downtimes. VELVEX being a leading player in this space is looking at an innovative AdBlue range of product SKU’s & dispensing units clubbed with services to meet this challenge of the availability of Genuine products in remote sites.
What are your company’s future outlook and the way forward?
The mining sector in India is expected to witness a major reform in the next few years, owing to reforms such as the Make in India Campaign, Smart Cities, Rural Electrification, and a focus on building renewable energy projects under the National Electricity Policy as well as the rise in infrastructure development. Coal production increased by 12% in September 2022 over September 2021. Its cumulative index increased by 21% from April to September 2022-23 over the corresponding period of the previous year.
“Over the years we have developed expertise in manufacturing tailor-made Genuine Oil for major OEMs. Depending on their design, application & engineering, suitable oils are formulated with optimum performance levels to meet the OEM-specific requirements, benchmarking on this expertise Velvex is expanding its portfolio of Off-Highway Lubricants, particularly in the synthetic and long-life lubricant range” says Mr. Hrishikesh Kulkarni, CEO at NPL
On the Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) product line we are looking at innovative lighter versions of Automated dispensing units at sites and also mobile dispensing solutions for extremely remote locations with lower equipment populations.
