DVLA registers 6,850 excavators as of July 8 — CEO announces

The Chief Executive Officer of the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA), Mr. Julius Neequaye Kotey, has disclosed that a total of 6,850 excavators have been registered across the country as of July 8, 2025.
The update forms part of efforts to streamline the operations of heavy-duty machinery, particularly in the mining and construction sectors, and to enhance accountability in the use of excavators, which are often linked to illegal mining and environmental degradation.
Mr. Kotey noted that the registration exercise is being conducted in collaboration with the Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources and other relevant state agencies.
He emphasised that the initiative is critical for improving national data on earth-moving equipment and ensuring compliance with existing regulations.
“The registration of excavators is a key step toward regulating their operations and addressing the environmental and security challenges posed by their misuse,” he stated.
The DVLA CEO further encouraged all stakeholders, especially owners and operators of unregistered excavators, to comply with the ongoing registration process to avoid sanctions.
