Weir secures significant order for its GEHO ® PD pumps Lloyds Metals and Energy Limited has awarded Weir an order to supply 14 GEHO ® TZPM 2000 positive displacement (PD) pumps equipped with GLORES (GEHO ® Load Reduction System).
L loyds Metals holds government- approved mining rights for ap- proximately 56 million tonnes of iron ore per annum. The order for GEHO ® PD pumps from Weir secured in Q1 of 2026 is part of the second phase of Lloyds Metals’ slurry pipeline project at its Surjagarh mine in Maharashtra. In this phase of the project, the pipeline will stretch approximately 200 km and add a further 16-million tonnes of capacity per annum. Lloyds Metals estimates that the pipe- line solution is projected to avoid 69% of carbon emissions compared with road transport, delivering a significantly cleaner and more sustainable logistics pathway. Weir also supplied pumps for the first phase of the project – a 100 km pipeline with a capacity of 10 million tonnes per
“Working closely together, we’ve de- vised a blueprint for success built on early engagement, collaboration and solid tech- nical work. We look forward to continuing to work with Lloyds Metals on these vital projects in the future.” P R Prasad, Lloyds Metals, Director for Projects said: “Lloyds Metals worked closely with Weir to successfully deliver the first phase of this project. From the out - set, Weir has worked hard to understand the project’s challenges and constraints, and, as a result, we’ve had a shared vision of what we want to achieve. “We have full confidence in the GEHO technology, and the addition of GLORES further enhanced pump performance and reassured us that it was the best solution on the market.” https://www.global.weir/
year. This pipeline is now fully operational. Tony Hendriks, Weir Global Product Manager, GEHO, said: “This win shows the strength of our technology. GEHO TZPM 2000 PD pumps are purpose-built for high-pressure, long-distance slurry pipelines. This proven, high-capacity slurry pump technology supports Lloyds Metals’ planned future capacity increases without introducing additional technical risk, while also helping them achieve their objective to reduce their dependence on conventional logistics and leverage slurry transport to reduce both costs and carbon emissions.” Pushpal Banerjee, Weir, Indian Regional Manager, GEHO said: “Lloyds Metals is an ambitious, innovative Indian company that Weir is proud to partner with on this project. We have a great relationship built on trust.
