Dhansar Engineering Company Private Limited, fondly known as DECO, was established in 1955 by Late Basant Kumar Agarwalla. Following his footsteps, his son and grandson Late Ravi Agarwalla, Mr. Manoj Agarwalla and Mr. Harsh Agarwalla built the company into a leading mining & infrastructure company. Today, the growth of DECO is spearheaded by Mr. Harsh Agarwalla, Mr. Manoj Agarwalla’s son, a dynamic young man with new ideas and vision built on the foundation of strong family values. Company’s major breakthrough came in 1999, when it was awarded the contract for earth excavation & filling work for Tehri Dam Project where the Company excelled even in adverse working conditions and made everyone notice its capabilities. The company continued to execute earth-filling works at Rajarhat, near Kolkata, ECC Division of L&T at Shell Hazira Port Project etc.
Thereafter, the company ventured into Open Cast Mining in 2003 as mining contractor and since then DECO has undergone rapid expansion and is at present working in various parts of India in public and private mines, with the turnover flaring up from Rs. 3.50 Crores in Financial Year 2002-03 to around Rs.950 Crores in 2022-2023.
DECO enjoys a cost advantage with its huge captive resources. The Company has entered into sophisticated mining by deploying state-of-art machines like Komatsu PC-2000 Excavators and Komatsu HD-785 Dumpers. The procurement of Atlas Copco L-8 Drills also indicates the philosophy of the company to keep pace with the modern technology.
The Company believes that its biggest strength lies in its Human Resources. The project supervisions are handled by competent professionals and the whole mining operation is taken care of by experienced, trained and diligent site Engineers. With the teamwork of professional personnel and coupled with appropriate modernization of machines and systems, DECO has a more competitive edge over other market players.
The present shall forever remain indebted to our founder Chairman, Late Basant Kumar Agarwalla, whose dream, vision determination and work ethics have directed our journey and his beliefs, benediction and blessings will shape our destiny.
