THE HEAVY ENGINEERING INDUSTRY IN INDIA
Heavy engineering is the foundation of a modern economy. After achieving independence, India entered the world of heavy engineering in 1958 with the government’s launch of the Heavy Engineering Corporation Ltd. at Ranchi. With Indian-made design and production of heavy iron and steel machines, the country’s industrial economy was propelled forward. India continues into the 21st century on its steady path toward total self-reliance and emergence as a global super power, grows its industrial manufactured goods exports, and forges partnerships with other global players to increase its position as a major manufacturing entity.
Manufacturing currently accounts for 25% of the country’s economy with end-to-end heavy engineering manufacturing as the backbone of that growth. Heavy engineering industries in India are evident in every region of the country with a major presence in the sectors of industrial machinery, nuclear, thermal, and hydroelectric power plants, wind turbines, mining, oil and gas exploration, aerospace; automotive; railways; and shipbuilding.
From manufacturing massive equipment to machining micro-parts, we know the metalworking business inside and out. Explore options for speeding up production and building profits without sacrificing quality with Master Fluid Solutions.”

MEETING THE MANUFACTURING CHALLENGE
Manufacturing of colossal iron and steel equipment and components presents challenges. Massive die casts, forged, bent, and welded steel and iron works can weigh many tons. The safety of a nuclear power plant, an off-shore oil rig, a locomotive engine, a fighter jet, a cargo ship, and more rest on the dependable production and assured results of their large-scale components. Manufacturers must produce work often to hyper-critical specs– at a competitive cost. Heavy engineering doesn’t just mean well designed, but equally well made. Structures and components that are well designed, made strong, dependable, long-lasting, with the goal of profitability are the key to a manufacturer’s success. From the big picture to the seemingly small production details, it’s all important in producing a viable product, profitably.
The following are facts from leading heavy engineering manufacturers in India who rely on performance-proven Master Fluid Solutions TRIM™ metalworking fluids to enhance their production and build profits…
WHEN IT COMES TO SUPER-CRITICAL,THEY TRUST ONLY TRIM
Case 1: A high-technology driven engineering and construction organization– one of the largest companies in India’s private sector– engineers, designs, and manufacturers mega-scale, super-critical steam generators, boilers and pulverizers at their world-class Hazira, Gujarat facility. They do heavy-duty machining of steel and cast iron and used high-performance TRIM™ MicroSol™ 585XT for four years with good results. Even so, sometimes customers think they might save coolant costs by making a switch. They trialled a reputable coolant on several HBM machines and within just a few months the results were strikingly clear– with Brand Z they suffered shorter tool life, undesirable foul odor, high top-up rates, and had rust both on machines and production parts! It was no contest, long-lasting MicroSol 585XT eliminates problems with rust and odor, and saves on tooling and coolant costs.
MAKING IT BIGGER AND BETTER
Case 2: Located in Cambiatore, one of India’s largest engineering component manufacturers provides end-to-end solutions for wind power, oil and gas, mining, defense, and aerospace customers. Immense fully-machined forged steel rings of 5000 mm and ductile and gray iron casts of 55 MT are within their norm. Their 21 machines have used Master Fluid Solutions TRIM™ SC310 high oil, semisynthetic coolant for more than a decade. Over the years other recognized brands have tried to compete against SC310 head to head, but it’s no contest. SC310 outperforms all the others for its long sump life, rust protection, cleanliness, no foul odor, and cost-effectiveness. Go the distance with TRIM SC310!
