Kirloskar Group Stocks

The Kirloskar Group, an Indian multinational, was founded in 1888 by Laxmanrao Kirloskar. The company’s journey started with Shivaji Metal Works, later merging into Kirloskar Oil Engines and eventually becoming Kirloskar Ferrous. Throughout the 20th century, Kirloskar established itself as a pioneer in Indian manufacturing, marking its milestones with achievements like producing India’s first iron plough (1903), first centrifugal pump (1926), and first diesel engine (1927).

The company’s commitment to innovation continued with the introduction of India’s first electric motor in 1940. In 1946, an engine’s company was established for the manufacture of diesel engines. In fact, the Group’s foray into exports began with diesel engines to Germany in 1954. Collaborations with foreign multinationals like Kirloskar Cummins (1962) further strengthened the company’s position. 

In recent years, the group has been diversifying into new technologies, such as green energy through Kirloskar Integrated Technologies in 2009 and Kirloskar Solar Technologies in 2017.

Today, the Kirloskar Group stands as a testament to its unwavering dedication to quality and progress, making it an attractive prospect for investors seeking a well-established and continuously evolving Indian manufacturer.
