Water borehole & blast hole drilling
Built for hard ground. Proven in the field.
Water borehole and blast hole drilling for demanding ground conditions across India, Ghana and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Experienced crews, engineering capability and our own machinery — drilling where performance matters.
About Apex
Drilling experience that goes beyond the rig.
A drilling contractor and equipment manufacturer with roots in India and operations across Africa, specialising in water borehole and blast hole drilling. Our experience comes from the field — ground conditions, equipment performance and the practical challenges that decide whether a drilling operation stays productive.
We don’t just build drilling rigs. We operate them.
Capabilities
Two drilling disciplines. One experienced contractor.
From water supply projects to quarry and mining operations, Apex provides drilling services built around reliability, production and field experience.
Reliable access to groundwater.
We provide complete water borehole drilling services. Our scope extends beyond drilling the hole: we manage the stages of borehole construction, from drilling and casing through development, testing and handover.

Equipment
We build the rigs we operate.
Because we operate our own rigs, we know what matters once a machine leaves the workshop: reliability, maintainability and performance under load. Our equipment is designed around that — from the drilling system and powertrain to wear components, maintenance access and spare parts.
Water borehole rigs
Built for dependable borehole drilling across varying ground conditions and depths.
Blast hole rigs
Track-mounted DTH equipment for quarry, mining and production drilling applications.
Equipment support
Spare parts, drilling consumables, replacement components, refurbishment and technical support, throughout the machine’s operating life.
Built here, delivered there
A rig we built, on its way to its buyer.
Machines leave India by roll-on/roll-off vessel. We handle the loading and the export paperwork, and the same route carries our own fleet to Ghana and the DR Congo — which is how we know it works.
Why Apex
Built from field experience.
Build equipment we understand. Operate it in real conditions. Improve it through experience. Support it in the field.
Field-proven equipment
We operate the same type of equipment we build and supply, so we know how our rigs perform in real drilling conditions.
Experienced crews
Our teams understand water, quarry and mining drilling — from mobilisation and setup through drilling, testing and site handover.
International operations
India, Ghana and the DR Congo: different terrains, ground conditions and project environments.
Engineering and support
Downtime costs more than repairs. We build, modify and maintain equipment around your operating requirements, and keep it productive with spares and field support.
End-to-end capability
Where required we manage the drilling scope from mobilisation and drilling through testing, surveying and final handover.
Operations
Operating across India and Africa.
Apex combines an established base in India with field operations in Ghana and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Our international experience has been built through actual drilling operations — not simply through equipment supply.
India
India is the foundation of Apex’s operations and engineering capability. Our teams here support water borehole drilling, equipment manufacturing, refurbishment, procurement and technical operations.
Ghana
Apex has operated in Ghana since 2021, providing drilling services for water supply and quarry applications.
Democratic Republic of Congo
Apex has operated in the DRC since 2020, supporting mining and water supply requirements with drilling equipment and experienced field teams.
Our story
From logistics to drilling.
We began in 1992 moving freight on our own trucks. Getting a rig onto a remote site on schedule is a haulage problem long before it is a drilling one.
- 1992
Founded in India
A logistics business running an owned fleet of trucks, moving freight across India.
- 2004
Entered water borehole drilling
The move from moving goods to sinking boreholes, backed by the fleet and workshop we already ran.
- 2020
Expanded operations into the DRC
Mining and water supply drilling — the group’s first work outside India.
- 2021
Expanded operations into Ghana
Water supply and quarry drilling contracts in the Ashanti region.
- Today
Drilling contractor and equipment manufacturer
Water borehole and blast hole drilling, alongside manufacturing and supplying the equipment behind those operations.
