BEML, the mining and construction equipment maker, is setting up operations in Indonesia with an investment of Rs 215 crore to be used to set up a marketing office, a spare part depot and a product services centre in Balikpapan (East Kalimantan), according to sources. The new entity will be called PT BEML Indonesia.

 

The Rs 3,000 crore public sector enterprise has been exporting equipment to some Indonesian companies, including listed coal giant PT Bumi Resources. By setting foot in Indonesia, the company hopes to supply equipment to customers at lower prices, speed up delivery time.

 

Currently, BEML is exporting equipments like conveyer systems, dump trucks and bulldozers to Indonesia. Around 95% of the heavy equipment market in Indonesia is controlled by 4 key players --Japan's Komatsu (51%), US' Catterpillar (22%), Hitachi (13%) and Kobelco (9%). Earlier in the year, BEML Ltd entered into a partnership with Sumber Mitra Jaya (SMJ) of Indonesia to bid for a contract mining business in India. Now the company would also look to explore opportunities with SMJ to bid for mining contracts in Indonesia. This is another venture BEML could look to further with its new office in Indonesia.
