No horizontal drilling rigs are listed for sale in India today. EquipmentsFinder has only just re-opened India, so this page is waiting on its first suppliers. To get a rig sourced, post a purchase request with your bore length and pipe size, and sellers can respond directly.
If you own or deal in HDD rigs, you can list one free of charge. Your phone and WhatsApp details appear on the listing.
Horizontal directional drilling lets a contractor install a pipe or duct under a road, rail line or river without opening the surface. That makes a rig valuable to telecom, gas, water and power contractors, and the market for them is narrow. Few are on offer at any time, so a posted request is often how a buyer finds one.
Pullback force limits the size and weight of pipe the rig can draw back through the hole, and bore length is the span it must cover. Ask the seller for the rated pullback, the maximum length on a real job, and the drill pipe supplied. Check the mud pump and the locating system too, because a rig without them is only part of a spread.
A utility crossing is short and often in crowded ground, so a smaller, tidier rig fits. A pipeline run is long and heavy, so it needs force and a bigger mud system. Tell sellers which of these you are doing.
Most buyers here are telecom and fibre contractors, gas and water utility contractors and infrastructure firms. Before sellers can quote, they need the number of crossings, the longest bore, the pipe diameter and material, and the ground conditions. A soil report, if you have one, helps a seller judge whether a rig will cope with rock or cobbles.
Prices in India are shown in INR and set by sellers. As there are no listings, no figure can be given here. When you get quotations, check for GST, drill pipe, tooling, the mud system, the locator and transport.
Listings will appear under Delhi NCR, Mumbai, Kolkata, Bengaluru, Chennai and Hyderabad. If the crossing is a one-off job, horizontal drilling rigs for rent may cost less than buying.
It depends on class, pullback force, age and the tooling that comes with it. Sellers set prices and none are listed yet. Request written quotations in INR that say what is included.
Pick by bore length, pipe diameter and ground. Mini suits short urban ducts, midi suits mains, and maxi suits long crossings. State these in your request.
New gives a warranty and fresh drill pipe. Used saves money, provided the pipe, rack and hydraulics are in good order. Worn drill pipe is a frequent hidden cost.
Yes. Ask the seller for a demonstration, look at the thread condition on the drill pipe, and check the hours and hydraulic leaks.
A tax invoice with GST, proof that the seller owns the rig and its serial numbers. Ask what else applies to the rig and its carrier.
Often yes, but ask. Sellers state what is included, and you can request the mud pump and locator as separate items.
