For a period of over 130 years, we at the Kirloskar Group, have focused on the progress of economic self-sufficiency and industrial growth in India. Our first products, the iron plough and chaff cutters, were introduced to encourage modernization in the agricultural and farming sector in the early 1900s. Developed at a small-scale machine tool workshop behind a bicycle shop, the iron plough proved to be the first among many engineering innovations that the Group would pioneer in the future.
