Trusted by Industries Across India

Hear from our clients across mining, manufacturing, and logistics — discover why leading businesses rely on our conveyor belt solutions.

We've put SOMI belts across multiple NTPC units and the performance has been the same everywhere. That kind of consistency is harder to find than people think. Most suppliers are fine on the first order, then it drops off. Not with SOMI Conveyor.

NTPC Limited

Mr. Alok Mathur

Ex. GM – Inspection

NTPC Limited

What stood out with SOMI was simple. What they said at the time of order is what arrived. That doesn't happen as often as it should in this industry. I've passed their name to colleagues at other state utilities without any hesitation.

MAHAGENCO

Mr. S. M. Marudkar

Ex. Executive Director

MAHAGENCO

The belts last longer, which means we buy less. SCBL's documentation also makes our audit process cleaner. From a finance standpoint, it's straightforward better value than what we were running before.

MPPGCL Jabalpur

Mr. Manjeet Singh

CFO

MPPGCL Jabalpur

SOMI was one of the vendors I approved during my tenure, and field performance justified that decision. Their specialised grades for CHP circuits were consistently better than what comparable domestic manufacturers were offering at the time.

APGENCO

Mr. Radha Krishnan

Ex. Director

APGENCO

Every sample batch we've pulled has come in within spec. First order, most recent order same result. A lot of suppliers are good early on and then you start seeing variation. SOMI hasn't done that.

NTPC Limited

Mr. Amit Kumar Rai

DGM – Inspection

NTPC Limited

For me it comes down to two things — does the product hold up, and does the supplier respond when there's a problem. SOMI Beltings has been solid on both. That combination isn't as common as it should be.

TGGENCO

Mr. Surendhra Ganji

Chief Engineer

TGGENCO

At this level, what matters is whether the vendor delivers reliably and handles themselves professionally when there is an issue. SOMI does both. We plan to continue with them.

MAHAGENCO

Mr. Rajesh Patel

Director

MAHAGENCO

SOMI's belts run predictably, maintenance intervals are what we planned for, no surprises. When I've called with a technical question, I get a real answer, not someone telling me what they think I want to hear.

WBPDCL

Mr. Pritam Saha

Head – CHP

WBPDCL

Belt life went up, procurement spend came down. SOMI understands how large utility purchasing works — lead times, documentation requirements, inspection protocols. They don't need to be hand-held through it.

UPRVUNL OBRA

Mr. Sameer Bhanagar

CGM

UPRVUNL OBRA

Fewer unplanned stoppages at plant, which shows up directly in generation output. Pricing has been transparent, payment terms honoured on their side as well. No complaints from my office.

MPPGCL Jabalpur

Ms. Rubi

Director Finance

MPPGCL Jabalpur

High tonnage lignite mining is not a forgiving application. SOMI Conveyor belts have held up consistently over the long term, that kind of reliability only comes from a manufacturer who actually understands the duty, not just the spec sheet.

NLC India Ltd. Neyveli

Mr. A. D. Keote

Ex. Executive Director – Conveyor

NLC India Ltd. Neyveli

We specified Somi Conveyor for new project installations and performance has been in line with design from day one. Their project team knows large scale mining belt requirements, no need to explain the basics.

Northern Coalfields Ltd.

Mr. Jitendra Malik

Director – Projects & Planning

Northern Coalfields Ltd.

The pipe conveyor has been the right solution for our curved mine to plant circuit. SOMI's belts track stably through the bends, no pipe collapse, fewer transfer points to maintain. It's made a real operational difference.

NLC Barsingsar

Mr. Manoj Meena

Dy. Chief Engineer

NLC Barsingsar

SCBL established a credible track record in the Coal India supply chain, technically sound, and commercially straightforward. Not every vendor manages both. They've earned the reputation they have here.

Central Coalfields Ltd.

Mr. B. K. Singh

Ex. GM

Central Coalfields Ltd.

Several operating cycles in and the belts are still performing as expected. Cover wear is gradual and predictable, splices hold, and we haven't had an unexpected belt failure affecting generation. That's all we ask for.

NLC Tamilnadu Power (NTPL)

Mr. Ram Kumar G

Plant Head

NLC Tamilnadu Power (NTPL)

Fire safety is non-negotiable. SomiFlex fire-resistant belts have cleared every third-party inspection we've put them through and performed without incident in deployment. Compliance and actual performance both perfect, not just one.

Eastern Coalfields Ltd.

Mr. R. C. Verma

CGM – MM

Eastern Coalfields Ltd.

Coal and coke handling isn't easy on belts. SOMI has supplied consistently through multiple procurement cycles, quality doesn't vary, delivery is reliable, and their people engage sensibly on technical requirements.

NSPCL

Mr. Manoj Jain

Head

NSPCL

Same SOMI belt running well at both our high-load feed points and the secondary circuits. That is useful from a procurement standpoint. we don't need to stock different grades for different duty points.

NLC Tamilnadu Power (NTPL)

Mr. Amita Sagar

Head – CHP

NLC Tamilnadu Power (NTPL)

In our abrasive mining application, most belts don't perform the way the data sheet suggests. SOMI Conveyor belts have genuinely. I recommended them to colleagues without any hesitation.

RSMML

Mr. M. M. Mathur

Ex. Mechanical Head

RSMML

Our CHP at Bhilai runs hot and the belts take sustained thermal load along with mechanical stress. Somi Conveyor has been the most reliable solution we have found for this combination. Performance under temperature is where other belts have struggled.

NSPCL Bhilai

Mr. M. S. Baxi

Head – CHP

NSPCL Bhilai

Somi Beltings has been a stable part of our procurement portfolio, technically compliant, commercially clean, consistent in delivery. They handle themselves professionally at every level of engagement, which matters more than people admit.

SAIL Bokaro Steel

Mr. Harsh Nigam

GM – MM

SAIL Bokaro Steel

SCBL has worked well for us on both ongoing procurement and new project specifications. Having one belt vendor who can handle both operational supply and capital project requirements is genuinely useful at our scale.

Jindal Steel and Power Ltd

Mr. Raj Kumar Chawla

AVP – Materials & Projects

Jindal Steel and Power Ltd

Consistent belt life, no failures under normal duty conditions. For steel plant conveyor applications, Somi Conveyor Betlings is a vendor I recommend without reservation.

SAIL Durgapur Steel

Mr. Jeothy

Mechanical Head

SAIL Durgapur Steel

Three questions matter in vendor evaluation - does the product deliver what is specified, is the supply reliable, and is the commercial relationship clean. SCBL passes all three, across multiple procurement cycles.

ACB

Mr. Sunil Kumar

VP – MM

ACB (India) Ltd

Since we shifted CHP belting to SOMI, unplanned stoppages have dropped noticeably. Belts track well, splices hold, cover wear is gradual. It's made a real difference to how the plant runs daily.

Jindal Steel and Power Ltd

Mr. Deepak Mohanty

HOD – CHP

Jindal Steel and Power Ltd

SOMI met our specification and more importantly, they met it in actual operation, not just on paper. High temperature performance has been consistently reliable. A genuinely capable product.

SAIL Rourkela Steel Plant

Mr. C. S. Pujari

Ex. GM – Inspection

SAIL Rourkela Steel Plant

Replacement intervals have more than doubled since we moved to Somi Conveyor belts. Total cost of ownership is significantly better. That is ultimately what matters in plant O&M.how long does it last, and what does it cost over that period.

Jindal Power Ltd – Simhapuri Energy

Mr. Boyina Ramesh

AGM – CHP (O&M)

Jindal Power Ltd – Simhapuri Energy

We standardised on SOMI Conveyor belts for our hot material circuits and that category of unplanned stoppage has been eliminated. The premium over cheaper alternatives is completely justified by the result.

Deepak Steel & Power Ltd.

Mr. S. K. Sharma

Commercial Head

Deepak Steel & Power Ltd.

More than 2 decades in cement and I haven't come across better conveyor belts than what SOMI makes. Consistent performance, no surprises. I don't say that lightly.

Adani Group

Mr. K. Krishnappa

Plant Head

Adani Group

SOMI belts are now our standard. Zero delamination failures since we switched over. It cover integrity has held across all our circuits. That's a meaningful operational improvement for us.

Ambuja Cements Ltd.

Mr. Prakash Dhayal

Technical Head

Ambuja Cements Ltd.

Good quality, fair pricing, long life. Somi Conveyor delivers all three consistently and that is a harder combination to find than it sounds. We have standardised across our plant on that basis.

JSW Steel

Mr. Vitthal Choudhary

Plant Head

JSW Steel

We put SOMI belts in at greenfield commissioning and they been running without issue since. No cover cracking even on the outdoor sections, which in the climate is saying something.

Calcom Cement India Ltd.

Mr. Nasiruddin Quazi

Plant Head

Calcom Cement India Ltd.

Somi Beltings doesn't just sell belts, they understand the application. The right recommendation for each circuit at plant has saved us considerable cost. That kind of technical engagement is rare from a supplier.

Hindalco Industries Ltd.

Mr. Pinakin Patel

Mechanical Head

Hindalco Industries Ltd.

Rubber compound quality is above industry average, carcass construction is uniform. The product delivers what the spec says and it's earned a place in our belt procurement standards.

Chettinad Cement Corporation Ltd.

Mr. A. Amalraj

V.P. Engineering

Chettinad Cement Corporation Ltd.

SCBL's belt has been running in a chemically aggressive handling circuit for over two years, no compound deterioration, and no swelling. Very good product for this kind of application.

RCF (Rashtriya Chemicals & Fertilizers)

Mr. Sadanand Bambure

Head – Mechanical

RCF (Rashtriya Chemicals & Fertilizers)

Cover life is in line with what SOMI committed, belts track well, splicing quality has held. Across our material handling circuits, the performance has been consistent, nothing more complicated than that.

Shiva Cement Ltd. – JSW

Mr. Veerababu

Unit Head

Shiva Cement Ltd. – JSW

Belt life in our hot concentrate handling circuit is the longest we have recorded with any domestic supplier. Somi Conveyor clearly formulates for sustained high temperature exposure and the results make that obvious.

Hindustan Copper Ltd.

Mr. Adwait Saxena

MM Head

Hindustan Copper Ltd.

Minimal elongation, clean tracking, no cover delamination after extended continuous operation. For bulk terminal applications, SOMI Conveyor is a supplier we trust completely.

Paradip Port Trust

Mr. M. P. Shetty

Chief Mechanical Engineer

Paradip Port Trust

We have had failures from other suppliers on these circuits. Tried SOMI's specialised grade and it's been running without incident since. Exactly what this application needs.

Thriveni Sainik Mining Pvt Ltd

Mr. Tarkeshwar Shahi

Sr. VP – CHP

Thriveni Sainik Mining Pvt Ltd

Longitudinal cut failures were a recurring problem on certain circuits. SOMI's solution has eliminated them. An innovative product that actually solves the problem rather than just delaying it.

Essar Bulk Terminal Ltd.

Mr. Shivanand Singh

Technical Head

Essar Bulk Terminal Ltd.

SOMI's belt solution addressed our layout constraints and durability requirements at the same time. Their team was thorough during specification and gave us real technical input, not just a catalogue recommendation.

HECB

Mr. Umesh Kumar Padhy

GM – Projects & Planning

Hind Energy & Coal Benefication (India) Ltd

Somi Conveyor belts fills a real gap, right product for high impact, cut prone circuits where a standard belt either fails early or is over-specified. I've included them in multiple project specs now, and clients have come back satisfied.
