IVRCL in Mining

The Mining Sector, which was a monopoly of the Government, was opened up during the last ten years or so gradually. Taking advantage of this liberalization wave, IVRCL started pursuing opportunities in the Mining Sector with keen interest.

IVRCL has strategic alliances with reputed mining companies in the country as well as in South Africa, China and Ukraine to jointly pursue both open-cast and underground mining opportunities unfolding in India in Coal, Copper, Zinc and Gold Mining Sectors.

Goal:

"To create a mining division focused on improving the top & the bottom lines and thus developing world-class operation skills to compete in international market by 2020"
