Infrastructure development in the high-altitude regions of Ladakh poses unique challenges—extreme temperatures, difficult terrain, and limited operating windows. Sanjeev Goyal Contractors, under the leadership of Mr. Sanjeev Goyal, has been at the forefront of executing critical road and defense infrastructure projects in Leh and surrounding border zones. To meet the requirement for high-quality aggregates at altitudes above 11,000 feet, Mr. Goyal turned to Taurian’s CG250 Cone Crusher—a rugged, high-efficiency solution suited for the region’s harsh operating environment.

Geological Setting – The Rock Formations of Ladakh

Before procuring the CG250, Mr. Goyal’s team operated with older crushing equipment that often broke down due to the mechanical strain of working in low-temperature, high-altitude conditions. Frequent wear of liners, difficulty in accessing spare parts, and inconsistent aggregate gradation affected both productivity and compliance with Border Roads Organisation (BRO) standards. A dependable crusher with stable performance, low maintenance needs, and superior shape control was critical to the success of these sensitive projects.

The Solution

Taurian CG250 Cone Crusher

After a detailed site visit and performance simulation, Taurian proposed the CG250 cone crusher—a medium-capacity machine engineered for secondary and tertiary crushing in hard rock applications.

Key Features:

  • High Crushing Force: Capable of processing hard granitic rocks without overload, even in extreme cold.

  • Automatic CSS Adjustment: Ensures consistent output gradation—vital for GSB and WMM layers used in BRO road construction.

  • Hydraulic Overload Protection: Prevents damage due to uncrushables, reducing maintenance and downtime.

  • Robust Build Quality: Designed for rugged duty cycles with heavy-duty frame, bearings, and dust-sealed components.

Results and Impact

Despite the harsh operating environment, the CG250 has delivered exceptional uptime and crushing efficiency, enabling Sanjeev Goyal Contractors to produce over 500 tons of high-quality aggregates per day during peak operational windows. The machine’s reliable performance has ensured uninterrupted material supply for BRO projects and defense logistics roads—critical to Ladakh’s connectivity and national infrastructure.

In a region where equipment breakdowns can mean weeks of delay due to difficult access and weather constraints, the CG250 has proven to be a game-changer, offering confidence, durability, and performance under pressure.
