Mumbai, October 1, 2026 - BEML Limited revealed India's inaugural indigenous 60-ton electric dump truck, the BH60-EV, during a launch event at its Mysuru Complex. This new electric vehicle expands BEML's electric mobility offerings, presenting zero tailpipe emissions and high-capacity performance for challenging mining and infrastructure tasks. BEML had previously introduced a 35-ton Electric Dump Truck on April 10, 2026.

The truck features a rock body for carrying loads and a volumetric body capacity of 36.4 cubic metres. BEML asserts that the electric truck can slash operating costs by 40-60% compared to traditional diesel-powered alternatives, potentially curbing CO2 emissions by approximately 130 tonnes per vehicle annually, contingent on operating conditions.

BEML CEO Shantanu Roy hailed the BH60-EV as a pivotal achievement in the company's quest for next-generation electric mobility in heavy-duty sectors. The vehicle underscores BEML's capacity to engineer high-capacity electric machinery suited to the rigorous demands of mining and infrastructure projects.
