In a first, Hindustan Zinc deploys India’s first ever Battery-Operated Vehicle into underground mining operation

-          Hindustan Zinc is the first company among its peers to join the EV revolution, steadily switching to electric vehicles for its underground operations

-          The company will invest USD 1 billion for converting all diesel-run 900 odd mining vehicles to battery operated ones

Udaipur, XX, XXXX, 2023: In a first-of-its-kind initiative in the Indian mining sector, Hindustan Zinc, a Vedanta group company, has introduced Normet Agitator SmartDrive EV, into its underground mining operations. The company will soon expand its BEV fleet with Normet’s Explosive Charger (CHARMEC MC 605 V SD) and Concrete Sprayer (SPRAYMEC MF 050 VC SD). Hindustan Zinc is the first company among its peers to join the EV revolution, steadily switching to electric vehicles for its underground operations. The company has set a target of converting all diesel-run 900-odd mining vehicles into battery operated ones over the next five years and has earmarked an investment of over USD 1 billion for the same.

Hindustan Zinc, together with the Finnish technology company Normet Group Oy, has inducted battery-powered service equipment and utility vehicles into underground mining to help decarbonize and improve environmental sustainability in the mining industry. Each of the Normet SmartDrive EVs are based on a modular Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) architecture that is designed to optimise energy consumption and performance in underground mining, including tunnelling applications. The SmartDrive EVs enable higher productivity, lower operating costs, and, most importantly, zero emissions. The BEVs have been inducted at the company’s Sindesar Khurd (SK) Mine which is a world class silver-rich mine with state-of-the-art infrastructure facilities and best-in-class mechanisation.

Commenting on the induction of the EVs, Mr Arun Misra, CEO, Hindustan Zinc, said, “Our aim at Hindustan Zinc is to revolutionise underground mining, boost productivity, raise underground safety standards, and provide sustainable operations solutions. Thanks to our unwavering commitment to environmentally sustainable business and net zero emissions, we've always focused on innovative and environmentally friendly solutions. I believe the introduction of battery-electric vehicles in Hindustan Zinc’s underground mining operations will revolutionise the sector and mark a great step forward for India in terms of responsible mining.”

Speaking on the occasion, Mr Subhasis Mohanty, Managing Director, Normet India, said, “We are pleased to partner with Hindustan Zinc to solidify our ESG commitment, by bringing into reality the first of our fleet of Normet SmartDrive ® BEVs in HZL underground mines. Our association has been valuable to drive common goals on sustainability and decarbonisation in the Indian mining sector, driving transformation in the underground space and building long-term value for all our stakeholders.”

Hindustan Zinc will gain considerable benefits from the adoption of Normet SmartDrive EVs, including significant HSD savings and vehicle maintenance. These SmartDrive electric vehicles are powered by 90kWH lithium-ion batteries and come equipped with myriad advanced technologies such as energy recuperation technology, hydraulic dual-circuit oil-immersed brakes to provide additional braking power, etc. The vehicles also have the advantage of zero-emission in the operating environments, considerable noise and vibration reduction associated with equipment. In addition to that, BEVs comes with high-efficiency driveline and consumes less kWh/ km compared to diesel ones.

Hindustan Zinc is a pioneer in the sector, continually deploying transformational and sustainable technologies in pursuit of sustainable mining. The introduction of the EVs serves as yet another decisive step for its sustainable and smart operations goals. Hindustan Zinc’s abiding commitment to sustainability and environmental-friendly solutions, then, puts it on the path to achieve its Sustainable Development Goal (SGD) of achieving a 0.5mn tCO2e reduction by 2025.

BharatBenz offers a wide range of tipper products starting from 6-wheeler 13T medium duty trucks to 22-wheeler 55T trucks (tip trailers). These trucks are used in extensive applications including surface construction, mining, irrigation/tunneling and intra-city distribution. BharatBenz’s new generation products are transforming the RMC (ready mix cement) application with engine-driven PTO solutions suiting every concreting requirement.

Mr. Rajaram K, Vice President - BharatBenz Marketing, Sales and Customer Service said, “BharatBenz has proven its dominance in the heavy-duty truck segments, especially in the Construction and Mining sector. Our product range is designed to contribute towards nation-building and has been key to several infrastructure-related projects across India. In mining, BharatBenz has the best-in-class fuel efficiency, and best uptime of over 90% for first five years of operation with highly durable powertrain and aggregates. We have enabled our customers to complete more than 145 mining projects on or ahead of schedule and have 60 sites being actively monitored through our dealer partners. We are proud of the fact that the highest running BharatBenz mining truck has covered more than 37,000 hours and is still going strong. This segment is likely to account for approximately 35% of the overall heavy duty segment and we are certain that our new BharatBenz tipper truck will be a game-changer for the mining industry.”

BharatBenz also has the 4828RT truck in its portfolio which offers best-in-class fuel efficiency, increased productivity, easy maneuverability and the signature ‘BharatBenz comfort’.

Mr. Pradeep T, Vice President – Product Engineering, Daimler India Commercial Vehicles said, “We are excited to introduce our new high performance BSVI powertrains, which will revolutionize the industry with their cutting-edge technology and unparalleled performance. BharatBenz vehicles will now feature segment-leading innovations in our new range such as intel-lift, hill holder, parabolic bogie suspension with bolsters in the rear and more. Safety is a key parameter in our design philosophy and the new products meet the latest HDT cabin crash norms including roll-over protection. This is a major step forward in our commitment to providing our customers in the Indian market with advanced and reliable products.”

BharatBenz is introducing “Simulated Driving Trainer (SDT)” which would be a ‘one stop’ facility having Truck Simulator on Cab with realistic simulated driving experience, which is equipped with software interfaces on Driver Training Management and eLearning modules. SDT will create a simulation for drivers to practice Mining & Construction applications and evaluate their skills. SDT is designed to guide them towards effective driving habits for improved performance, saving cost and improve overall efficiency.

BharatBenz completed 10 years in India in 2022 and has the reputation of being one of the most respected truck brands in the Construction and Mining industry. One reason for BharatBenz being a preferred brand in trucks is the ‘Uptime’ that the truck range offers to customers, allowing for faster turnaround that helps save logistical costs. In addition to leading the transformation in the Indian CV industry, Daimler India Commercial Vehicles has also forged strong partnerships in the last decade establishing over 300 sales and service outlets and partnering with more than 400 suppliers.

"The Economic Survey 2023 provides an optimistic picture of India’s growth performance and outlook, amidst looming global recessionary concerns. The economy has largely recovered from the pandemic, with GDP likely to grow at 6.5% in FY2024. Robust domestic demand and a pickup in capital investment are likely to steer growth. Interestingly, inflation is now within RBI’s target, after a year of measures to curtail it. In 2022, the RBI increased the repo rate by 225 basis points.

The reduced inflation levels should give some room for RBI to keep repo rates stable over the next few months. This is likely to keep home loan rates stable and thus will give some breather to homebuyers, especially in the affordable and mid-range segments. Out of the 50 cities surveyed, the survey states that 46 cities registered an increase in the index, whereas 4 cities experienced a decline, on an annual basis. All eight major metros of the country witnessed an annual increase in the housing price index. Going ahead, housing prices remain stable led by steady demand likely to be seen in 2023"

31 जानेवारी 2023, नवी मुंबई: कोकिलाबेन धीरूभाई अंबानी हॉस्पिटल, नवी मुंबईने आपल्याकडील पहिली रोबोटिक-आर्म असिस्टेड सर्जिकल सिस्टिम स्ट्रायकर माकोचे क्लिनिकल लॉन्च करण्यात आल्याची घोषणा केली आहे. सांधे प्रत्यारोपण सर्जरीसाठी जगभरात वापरल्या जाणाऱ्या सर्वात प्रगत ऑर्थो-रोबोटिक तंत्रज्ञानांपैकी हे एक तंत्रज्ञान आहे. कोकिलाबेन धीरूभाई अंबानी हॉस्पिटल, नवी मुंबईचे कन्सल्टन्ट, ऑर्थोपेडिक्स डॉ सुभाष धिवरे यांनी आपल्या टीमसह या नवीन रोबोटिक सिस्टिमचा उपयोग करून दोन केसेसवरील शस्त्रक्रिया यशस्वीपणे पार पाडल्या.
