Volvo Construction Equipment India has commercially launched the EC650, a 65-tonne class mining excavator, at bauma CONEXPO INDIA 2026, expanding its mining equipment portfolio with a machine designed for demanding mass excavation and mining applications. The EC650 is available for immediate deliveries as mining customers enter the current buying season.
Powered by the Volvo D13E engine delivering 435 hp, the EC650 features a robust undercarriage, heavy-duty boom and arm, and advanced hydraulics engineered to withstand demanding operating conditions. The machine is designed to deliver durability, fuel efficiency and reliable performance across intensive mining applications. It will also be available through Volvo’s Equipment-as-a-Service offering.
Volvo CE is supporting the EC650 with a range of connected services, productivity solutions, repair and maintenance agreements and application-led offerings. These services are designed to help customers improve equipment uptime, operating efficiency and overall site performance throughout the equipment lifecycle.
Dimitrov Krishnan, Managing Director, Volvo Construction Equipment India, said, “India’s mining sector is operating at a scale and intensity like never before, and it demands equipment that cannot just perform reliably in the toughest and most demanding conditions, but also are fuel efficient and responsive to operators. With the EC650, we’re not just adding a machine to our mining line-up – we’re giving India’s mining operators a partner they can rely on for every shift. That’s the kind of dependability the country’s growth story needs, and that’s what we intend to deliver as India moves forward on its journey toward a stronger, more sustainable Viksit Bharat.”
At the company’s stand in the Construction & Industrial zone, Volvo CE is showcasing its 20-tonne excavator range comprising the EC210, EC215 and EC220. The machines are suited to applications including road construction, urban construction, quarrying and river-bed mining. The display also includes the EC300, SD110, DD90 and L120 Electric Wheel Loader.
In the Mining zone, the EC480, EC650 and L150 are being showcased through an application-led approach. The broader display demonstrates Volvo CE’s range across construction, compaction, mining and electric equipment, supported by connected technologies and customer solutions. The showcase is aligned with Volvo CE’s “Aaj Banayein Kal” campaign, which highlights the role of contractors, customers and operators in building India’s infrastructure and shaping the country’s future.
Volvo CE has also announced investment in its Technology Centre in Bengaluru, which will support research and development, localisation and product innovation for India and global markets.
