Pioneering · Engineering · Manufacturing
Engineered for the ground beneath.
Three generations of drilling equipment, built for water, piling, and mining.
Capabilities
Engineered in-house
Design, R&D, and prototyping under the same roof as manufacturing.
Manufactured at scale
162,000 m² plant at Sankari with 20,000 sq ft of covered fabrication shed.
Built to spec
Repeatable tolerance on every rig, from V2i borewell to V10 blast hole.
Delivered on schedule
Commit dates we hold to - operationally, not aspirationally.
Custom configs
Variants for terrain, climate, and operating profile with practical engineering.
Product lines

Three lines, each tuned to the ground beneath it. Pick where you're working and find the rig.
What we stand for
Engineering as a long position, not a sprint.
Vision
A drilling-equipment company whose customers, employees, and communities share the ground we engineer for.
Mission
Build drill rigs and mining equipment with sound engineering - proven in design, validated in the field.
Fusion
Trade standards fused with in-house engineering - every weld and tolerance held to the spec the field measures by.
Over 1000 rigs delivered
Over 700 operators served
16 years on the ground
Drilled into time
A line through the ground we've covered.
The line below traces the platform's history - each year a depth marker on the bore. Scroll to drill through.
Year 2011
Velson is founded in Tiruchengode, Tamil Nadu - built around a single conviction that the right drilling rig is the one engineered to the ground it will work in. Production begins on Model-I in June 2011.
Year 2012
India's first fully-automated rod-handling drill with a tilted mast - Model-II - ships in April 2012.
Year 2013
Model-III launches as India's first compact, self-propelled drilling rig. Designed to navigate access-constrained sites.
Year 2014
Model-III is re-engineered for water-well duty, producing the most powerful compact rig in its class - the V9 platform.
Year 2015
Product line diversifies. V10 GH 600 enters service as Velson's first mining blast-hole drill. The model-naming convention is formalised.
Year 2016
V4 Red Fox is released - the most powerful Light-Commercial-Vehicle-mounted water-well rig in the line.
Year 2017
Recognising that no pre-built model fits every customer's ground, Velson stands up a custom-build practice (V3 special-purpose machines) with improved stability.
Year 2018
V4i, a compacted version of V2i, delivers Velson's first fully-automated compact rig while continuing dedicated support to international customers.
Year 2019
The new Sankari plant is commissioned across 162,000 m² with associated training and support centres.
Year 2020
The Reverse-Circulation (RC) drill rig is launched for mineral-exploration programmes.
Year 2021
The VEDC diamond-core exploration drill is launched.
Year 2022
The SD100 (Velson Samp) compact field sampler enters service for shallow survey and sampling work on coastal and soft-ground sites.
Year 2023
The HDE-600 Hole-Match drill joins the mining line - a crawler rig sized to drill horizontal and vertical holes for wire rope cutting in granite mines.
Year 2024
The V9 XL extends the deep-drilling platform, pairing DTH and ODEX drill capability for exploration-grade reach on a single crawler.
Year 2025
The DRC 350 reverse-circulation crawler is introduced - continuous sample recovery to 350 m for metal/mineral mineral exploration.
Year 2026
The D120 self-contained production blast-hole crawler arrives - 12 m single-pass drilling - the flagship of a line now spanning water, piling, and mining.
