Kirloskar Brothers Limited (KBL), a global leader in fluid management solutions, has announced its contribution to INS Taragiri, reinforcing its role in advancing India’s indigenous defence manufacturing ecosystem. INS Taragiri, a next-generation stealth-guided missile frigate of the Indian Navy, represents a key milestone in India’s push for self-reliance in defence production. Designed and built under the country’s indigenisation drive, the vessel reflects cutting-edge naval engineering and operational capability.
KBL has supplied its precision-engineered Canned Motor Pumps (CMPs) for the vessel, which play a critical role in ensuring the efficiency, reliability, and safety of onboard systems. These pumps are specifically designed for demanding environments, offering a leak-proof construction, high operational reliability, and minimal maintenance requirements. Their compact design, along with low noise and vibration levels, makes them ideally suited for naval applications where performance and stealth are critical.
The contribution to INS Taragiri builds on KBL’s strong track record in supporting India’s defence sector. The company has previously supplied critical equipment for several indigenous naval platforms, including INS Nilgiri, INS Surat, INS Himgiri, INS Udaygiri, and INS Dunagiri. Through these engagements, KBL has consistently demonstrated its engineering expertise and ability to meet the stringent standards required for defence applications.
The company’s continued involvement in such projects highlights its alignment with the Government of India’s Atmanirbhar Bharat vision. By delivering high-performance fluid management solutions for mission-critical defence infrastructure, KBL is contributing to strengthening India’s maritime capabilities and enhancing national security.
With a legacy dating back to 1888, Kirloskar Brothers Limited has established itself as a leading provider of fluid management solutions across sectors including water supply, power generation, irrigation, oil and gas, infrastructure, and defence. Its comprehensive product portfolio includes industrial, agricultural, and domestic pumps, valves, and hydro-turbines.
KBL remains committed to innovation, quality, and nation-building, leveraging its engineering excellence to support India’s growing defence ecosystem. The company continues to invest in advanced technologies and manufacturing capabilities to meet the evolving requirements of modern naval platforms. This milestone further reinforces KBL’s position as a trusted partner in India’s journey toward self-reliance in defence manufacturing, while ensuring operational excellence in some of the most challenging and mission-critical environments.
