Thriveni Group, a provider of end‑to‑end mining services, has completed the electric conversion of a PC 3000 hydraulic excavator at the Pakri Barwadih Coal Mining Project in Jharkhand. This marks the fifth such conversion at the site and the eleventh electric machine deployed across the company’s operations over the past five years.
The company’s electric mining equipment fleet includes the RH 340 (34 cubic metres), Hitachi EX 2500 (15 CuM), PC 3000 (15 CuM), and five rope shovels (10.5 CuM). The shift to electric machinery is part of Thriveni’s broader strategy to reduce diesel dependency and adopt more energy‑efficient, lower‑carbon technologies.
Thriveni Group operates large‑scale mechanised mining projects across India, investing heavily in sustainability and operational innovation. Through its joint venture Thriveni Sainik Mining Pvt. Ltd.—in partnership with Sainik Mining & Allied Services—it has served as mine developer and operator (MDO) for NTPC Ltd. at the Pakri Barwadih Coal Block since 2015. The project has a designed peak capacity of 15 million tonnes per year and features one of Asia’s longest coal conveyor systems.
Simultaneously, Thriveni was appointed MDO for Lloyds Metals at the Surjagarh Iron Ore Mine in Maharashtra, one of India’s largest iron-ore reserves. Under Thriveni’s management, the mine’s capacity has been significantly expanded, with plans to reach 55 million tonnes annually.
Thriveni provides end‑to‑end mining services—from exploration and project execution to mineral processing, equipment refurbishment, logistics, and marketing—adapting its operating model to the technical and regional demands of each project.
Operating over 70 projects with a combined capacity of more than 250 million tonnes per year and an estimated annual output value of USD 9.5 billion, Thriveni is a major presence in Indian mining. The group has reported an annual ore production of around 20 million tonnes, positioning it as the largest private‑sector ore miner in India according to its filings. It employs over 6,000 people, holds ISO certifications, and emphasises carbon dioxide reduction through electrification of heavy machinery.
In July 2025, Lloyds Metals completed the acquisition of a 79.82 percent stake in Thriveni Earthmovers and Infra Pvt. Ltd. (TEIPL)—the MDO business formerly of Thriveni Earthmovers Pvt. Ltd.—for INR 700 million, making TEIPL a subsidiary of Lloyd Metals effective July 1. The deal, approved by the CCI in May 2025, is expected to enhance operational synergy and accelerate mining growth.
Thriveni Earthmovers Pvt. Ltd. is ISO‑certified. With its expanding mineral beneficiation and downstream presence, along with strategic partnerships and recent acquisition, Thriveni continues to strengthen its leadership role in India’s mining and infrastructure sectors.
