Incorporated on 23rd December 1971, BGL is India's largest gear manufacturer. Since commencing business in 1974, BGL entered into the technical know how with Holcroft for manufacturing Furnaces from May 1983 to Dec. 2006 and with ZF Friedrichshafen, AG, Germany, in 1985 to Mid May,2007 technical & Financial collaboration for manufacturing Gear Boxes.
