Landmark Achievement by Greaves Cotton Limited

Greaves Cotton Limited, one of India’s leading engineering companies, achieved a rare distinction when it crossed production of two million light diesel engines on May 7, 2009. The roll out took place at the Company’s Aurangabad plant. In December 2004, Greaves had reached the million light diesel engine mark. The second million has taken just 4 ½ years.

Commenting on this landmark achievement, the Company’s Managing Director & CEO Mr. Prabhakar Dev, said “with an annual production of over 2, 50,000 single cylinder light diesel engines, Greaves is already amongst the largest manufacturers of such engines in the world. If we maintain this momentum, I reckon the next million is not too far away”.

Greaves began the manufacture of light diesel engines way back in 1977 and has since set up three more plants and a Technology Center dedicated to design and develop new proprietary technology, eco-friendly diesel engines for automotive and other applications. The Company’s manufacturing plants are equipped with state-of-the-art production facilities, backed by in house R&D. These portable engines are produced in the range of 4 – 11 HP and find applications in automotive, marine, industrial and other uses. Greaves’ client list includes some of the leading 3 – wheeler manufacturers in the country.

Greaves has also recently forayed into the manufacture of twin cylinder engines for various applications such as four-wheeled low cost commercial vehicles, gensets and construction equipment.From: Mitesh M Kapadia, Sentinel Public Relations / Sentinel Advertising Services, Tel: (91 22) 28625131/32.
