Indian Pumps & Valves

Pumps and Valves segment contributes significantly to the growth of Indian economy. They have
proved highly critical in productivity of the core sectors of the economy. The Pumps & Valves
sector has a net value addition ratio in manufacturing of over 20 per cent. India already exports
Pumps & Valves worth over US$ 1.55 billion, serving various engineering segments, to over 100
countries. The exports in this segment are growing at a healthy rate of around 10-12 per cent
annually. Additionally the Indian market is already worth over Rs 5,000 crore (US$ 780 million)
in pumps & Rs 4,500 crore (US$ 700 million) in valves. India is already selling & supporting niche
scientific & engineering technologies to developed economies in areas such as in aerospace
engineering, auto components, biotechnology etc.

India has attained near self-sufficiency in Pumps for Nuclear Power, complete self-sufficiency in
captive power generation, pulp & papers, energy efficient pumps in utilities & in agriculture
sector. Considerable manufacturing segment of this sector is focusing on catering latest
application in Bio-Pharma field, such as of Infusion Pumps.

Given the fact that among machineries, pumps are said to be produced and used in largest
numbers, second only to electric motors. The overall scenario in Indian economy also favours
growth & development in Indian Pumps & Valves industry, thereby opening huge potential of
international collaborations.

Growth Opportunities

Investment demands from infrastructure, energy, manufacturing & real estate is expected
to sustain in medium to long term. The Government support to boost economic
development is also expected to provide an attractive avenue for the Pumps & Valves
industry.
 Urbanisation is expected to cater 70 per cent of the Indias US$ 15 trillion projected GDP
by 2030. This entails Pumps & Valves for urban construction such as residential and
commercial utilities & buildings will witness sustained demand over considerable period
of time.
Investments in infrastructure that includes electricity, roads, ports, irrigation, water supply
and
sanitation is alone targeted with US$ 1 trillion investments by 2017. The private sector is
encouraged to execute large projects on Public Private Partnership (PPP) basis.
The Government of India is encouraging technology development & transfer to enable
small scale sector enter into high-tech areas such as aerospace, defense & manufacturing
etc with a view to enhance competitiveness and offer advanced technology solutions.
The domestic utilities and agriculture sector is also expected to witness sustained demand
for Pumps & Valves.
Indian companies are increasingly looking for international partnerships for entering
technology collaborations and foreign markets.
Large number of small scale sector players has created price sensitive offerings as an
alternative to costly solutions by large players.

Brand India Engineering Pumps & Valves

Brand India Engineering campaign launched by Ministry of Commerce & Industry, Government
of India aims at creating true brand value in international markets for Indian engineering products
& services. It is expected to catapult Indias status in engineering capabilities, by highlighting
Indias competitiveness, credibility & service commitments in engineering sector.

India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF), a Trust established by the Department of Commerce and
EEPC India, an apex national body representing engineering industry, is steering the campaign in
coordination with national associations & industry stakeholders in the Pumps & Valves sector.

The Indian Pumps & Valves has created place of its own that is worth exemplification. This is
what the Brand India Engineering endeavours to promote.

Industry Clusters
Few major Pumps & Valves industry clusters are:

1. Coimbatore
2. Belgaum
3. Batala & Jalandhar
4. Kolhapur
5. Rajkot
6. Ahmedabad
7. Hyderabad
Quality Certifications
Complying with highest quality systems requirements, whether it is ISO 9000, ANSI, API or
EUNO series, the Indian Industry emulates some of the best technologies and applications of
Pumps & Valves. For instance, ISRO successfully installed Fuel Booster Turbo Pump its
indigenously developed & successfully launched Cryogenic Engine, besides India already operates
the worlds best performing space rockets PSLVs on Fuel Booster Turbo Pumps technologies.
In the field of applications, Indian Pumps & Valves have contributed in making some Indian Oil
refineries and especially Reliance refinery among top 5 per cent global ranks in Energy Efficient
Index of Shell Benchmarks. As a consequence of these and many more advanced achievements,
better & planned implementation of socio-economic development is further enhancing the scope
in the sector.

Following are the few international standards that are being followed by the selected companies
for this campaign.

International Recognition
There are several globally well-accepted products from India. Like vertical execution multi-stage
multi-outlet (MSMO) pumps, lowest life cycle cost (LLC) pumps and concrete volute (CV) pumps.
Lowest life cycle pumps are in high international demand especially due to sustained energy
efficiency over longer period and lowest pump maintenance cost. MSMO pumps are well suited
for high rise urban development projects for saving valuable space. Concrete Volute products are
very good & cost effective in handling large volumes of water. Other important products offered
are latest solar centrifugal pumps & solar power conditioning units that has proved its potential in
saving millions of units of electricity annually. Specialised valves for handling powders and
abrasive fluids and highly energy efficient actuators.

Energy efficient systems and Intelligent Process Equipment Systems are being integrated in such
manner so as to meet international demands and retain cost effectiveness for domestic industrial
and infrastructural goals. Kirloskar Brothers Ltd, a global renowned brand, created a world record
in assembling pumps in 17.25 seconds at the shop-floor

Government Initiatives
Government of India has envisaged installation of 1,00,000 solar water pumps for irrigation and
drinking water purposes across the country. Indian Pumps & Valves sector has uniquely positioned
itself to cater global quality solutions emerging from installations, upgradation or replacement
needs.
Promoting and developing small scale sector is under priority focus of Indias industrial policy.
Small scale sectors forms the largest employment generator sector in India and earns the significant
share in exports revenue in the country. The small scale sector is the backbone of Indian
engineering sector. Indian small scale enterprises avail seamless benefits of technology
upgradation and absorption through Government funded R&D collaborations like SiTarc,
Coimbatore, SIEMA, CSIR, Ministry of Science & Technology etc.

Creating equitable development opportunities and promotion of International trade has been an
integral embodiment & very foundation of Indias cultural & socioeconomic system. Until the end
of 16th century, India led the world in international trade & provided shelter to busiest trade routes.
Assimilation of our traditional & universal approach of equitable opportunities & development for
all has led India to become a leading example for emerging economies to emulate. The usage
served by Pumps & Valves are deeply attached to the foundation of predominantly agricultural
economy of India, and it is playing a critical role in building balanced all round development of
the one of the largest emerging economies. Pumps & Valves are one of the most successful
equipment what India has to offer to forge a partnership focusing on all round & balanced
development of various economic sectors.
