Enabled by market-leading expertise
Over the past two decades, we have transformed ourselves with increased focus on technology and innovation. Having started as a component supplier for commercial vehicles, we have expanded our frontiers into diverse sectors by leveraging our multi-sectoral engineering expertise, integration advantage, and innovation capabilities.
Our capability to innovate is an asset that has helped us grow and consolidate our position as a technology-driven engineering conglomerate. Innovation is the bedrock of the Company which has supported our business for the past 30 years and will drive our transformation in the future as well.
We Possess Innovation, Technology and Engineering Competencies
We excel in engineering solutions across verticals with wide–ranging competencies in materials (highly engineered steel, aluminum and titanium), metallurgy and metal forming. Our world-class manufacturing units are amongst the most advanced complemented with embedded technologies like Industrial IoT (Internet of Things), Machine Learning (ML), and Industry 4.0 standards. Our world-class R&D centers, powered by partnerships and collaborations, have decades of rich intellectual capital. They are constantly augmenting knowledge and skills in advanced materials and technologies, identifying new opportunities in process improvement, and developing new products and materials.
Together, these have enabled us to move up the value-chain, from components supplier to engineering sub-systems and even full-systems. We now have capabilities to create own technology platforms and intellectual property, enabling us to manufacture and sell them for better margins and growth, distinguishing us amongst few companies in India with such capabilities.
Reaching the Next Level – the Future of Manufacturing
We are now leveraging our multiple competencies with material, metallurgical, and metal forming as the fulcrum, to pivot to the next level and create opportunities. We intend to move up the product and system value chain across verticals with cutting-edge technologies at the core. Our strategic priority involves graduating from manufacturing of critical components to making sub-systems and full systems.

With this mindset, we have restructured our new businesses into dedicated verticals and have brought in young, dynamic leaders to take forward our ambitious vision. We have consolidated our Defence businesses under Kalyani Strategic System Limited (KSSL), a 100% subsidiary of Bharat Forge. The combined competencies along with a top-notch leadership team will enable us to better target opportunities in defence in India and exports. Similarly, our E-mobility business has been spun off into a single entity — Kalyani Powertrain Limited (KPTL) which is a 100% subsidiary of Bharat Forge. This will bring more synergies in functioning of the E-mobility business and strengthen prospects with a unified approach and talented team.
