SnapshotSurjagarh is an open cast mechanized mine. Lloyds Metals is poised to become the first mine in India to have more than 100 electric vehicles.

LMEL has demonstrated a strong commitment to sustainability by developing an indigenous in-house technology to convert diesel excavators into electric powered ones.

Lloyds Metals received the Environment Clearance for expansion in June 2025.

The company plans to initially mine 26 MTPA of Hematite (Direct Sales Ore). Over time, production will ramp up to a capacity of 55 MTPA, incorporating up to 45 MT of Banded Hematite Quartzite (BHQ).

As beneficiation plants become operational, the company will transition from using Hematite DSO to beneficiated ore.

Additionally, the Company’s iron ore mine at Surjagarh received a prestigious 5-star rating from the Indian Bureau of Mines (IBM).
