A History revealed of MAMC in Durgapur / WEST BENGAL

An industry in durgapur.
A history revealed of MAMC industry durgapur in west bengal.
Mining and Allied Machinery Corporation.
Incorporated: 1964;
HQ: Durgapur; Product: Mining equipment.
The fortunes of many PSUs in India were linked to those of the communist bloc. The end of the Cold War and the disintegration of the Eastern Bloc had a telling effect on these companies. The Mining and Allied Machinery Corporation Ltd (MAMC), which was set up in Durgapur, West Bengal, to manufacture mining equipment, is also a product of the Cold War.

The company was once the conduit for a subtle technology transfer across the Iron Curtain - the British technology that it obtained by a collaboration with Dowty Mining of the UK was given to the former USSR in the form of exports of specialised wrenches, winders and haulages while the Soviet (and Polish) mining drills and other equipment it imported were reverse - engineered and exported to the West.

But the end of the Cold war changed all that. The West no longer needed an intermediary for dealing with Russia or Poland. As a result there is a disquieting silence in MAMC today. There is no manufacturing worth the name and most of the machines are rusting due to disuse. In fact, MAMC has long ceased to be a major supplier of mining equipment. Till 1998-99, only a hundredth of its installed capacity of scrapper-chain conveyors, the company's product of pride, was operational. Now the assembly line is closed.
