Epiroc AB, a supplier of mining and infrastructure equipment, has commenced construction of a new production and research and development facility in Nashik, Maharashtra. The site, covering around 175,000 square metres, will include buildings for production and prototyping, an R&D laboratory, offices, and an outdoor test track. Operations are expected to begin in the third quarter of 2026, with phased development in subsequent years.
The Nashik facility will focus on developing and manufacturing underground and surface equipment for mining and construction industries. It is expected to add about 200 direct jobs to Epiroc’s existing workforce of approximately 280 in Nashik.
“The new facility in Nashik is a key step in further expanding our presence in the growing and very important Indian market, and it will also support our customers globally,” said Helena Hedblom, President and CEO of Epiroc.
Epiroc currently employs around 1,750 people in India, including a large research and development team. The company expanded its rock drilling tools manufacturing facility in Hyderabad in April 2025 and opened an innovation and technology centre in the city in 2024.
“We are excited about this further expansion in India, where we see significant growth potential,” said Arunkumar Govindarajan, President Epiroc India. “The new facility also supports our ‘Make in India’ initiatives.”
Epiroc was advised by JLL India on acquisition of the land for the upcoming facility.
Epiroc AB, headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden, supplies equipment, services, and solutions for mining and infrastructure industries. The company reported revenues of about SEK 64 billion in 2024 and employs around 19,000 people across approximately 150 countries.
