en.Wedoany.com Reported - Weir India has secured a major order from Lloyds Metals for GEHO PD pumps, to be used in the second phase of the Surjagarh slurry pipeline project in Maharashtra. Lloyds Metals holds government-approved mining rights for approximately 56 million tonnes/year of iron ore. The order was placed in the first quarter of 2026, and the pipeline will extend approximately 200 kilometers, adding an additional 16 million tonnes/year of capacity to the project. Lloyds Metals estimates that compared to road transport, this pipeline solution is expected to avoid 69% of carbon emissions, providing a cleaner and more sustainable logistics route.

Weir previously supplied pumps for the first phase of the project—a 100-kilometer pipeline with a capacity of 10 million tonnes/year, which is now fully operational. Tony Hendriks, Global Product Manager for Weir GEHO, stated that this award demonstrates the strength of the company's technology. The GEHO TZPM 2000 PD pump is designed for high-pressure, long-distance slurry pipelines. This proven, high-capacity slurry pump technology supports Lloyds Metals' planned future capacity expansions without introducing additional technical risks, while helping them achieve their goals of reducing reliance on traditional logistics and lowering costs and carbon emissions through slurry transport.

Pushpal Banerjee, Regional Manager for Weir GEHO India, noted that Lloyds Metals is an innovative Indian company, and Weir is proud to collaborate with them on this project, built on a strong relationship of trust. Through close cooperation, based on early involvement, collaboration, and solid technical work, a successful blueprint has been developed. He also expressed anticipation for continued collaboration with Lloyds Metals on these key projects in the future. P R Prasad, Project Director at Lloyds Metals, stated that Lloyds Metals worked closely with Weir to successfully deliver the first phase of the project. From the outset, Weir made efforts to understand the project's challenges and constraints, and both parties reached a consensus on the goals to be achieved, with full confidence in GEHO technology. The addition of GLORES further enhanced the pump's performance and convinced them that this is the best solution on the market.
