TAKRAF India Continues Partnership with NLCIL

NLC India Limited (NLCIL) has awarded TAKRAF India four new contracts for the revamping and maintenance of various Bucket-Wheel Excavators (BWEs). NLCIL, a public sector company established in 1956 and one of India's largest lignite and power producers, operates three open-pit mines with a total installed capacity of 28.5 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) at Neyveli, Tamil Nadu. Two of the new contracts involve major overhauls of the mechanical and electrical systems of one 1400-liter BWE and two 700-liter BWEs originally supplied by other equipment manufacturers, with the goal of extending their operational life.

The other two contracts are for the maintenance of BWEs to reduce downtime and ensure equipment availability. These maintenance contracts cover mechanical and electrical work on two 1400-liter BWEs originally supplied by TAKRAF and three 1400-liter BWEs from another OEM.

"Our collaboration with NLCIL dates back more than 30 years and the newly awarded contracts are indicative of the trusting relationship between NLCIL and TAKRAF India. I sincerely thank all colleagues for their hard work and efforts. We look forward to commissioning the orders and continuing to work together to best support the needs of NLCIL in the future,” said Gopal Kalyanakrishnan, Managing Director of TAKRAF India.
