Why Kelkar

Offshore your metal. Not your standards.

The cost and capacity of offshore — without the quality or delivery risk.

Assurance

The assurance of a supplier next door

Certified by TÜV Austria, stock held in the US, and engineers (not salespeople) on the line.

Scale

The scale of India

13,200 tonnes a year across six plants — capacity ready when you need it, and no factory to build yourself.

Proof

Proof it works

JCB, Cummins, Hitachi and Wirtgen build with us today.

This decision is usually a choice between two compromises.

Keep it local

Higher cost per part. Capacity capped at whatever your supplier already has.

Go offshore

Lower cost. Audit risk, customs delays, and a supplier you can't reach.

With Kelkar

Offshore cost, no compromise. Four international certifications, four decades, six plants, and one partner accountable from your drawing to your dock.

You're not buying parts. You're buying certainty.

The numbers behind the metal.

The scale of a partner, not a job shop — capacity, people and process built over four decades.

Delivery

Built in India. Stocked in our US warehouse.

Parts buffered in our US warehouse and shipped to you domestically — so an overseas supplier delivers like one down the road.

Shipping

Domestic US shipping

Despatched inside the country, not across an ocean.

Customs

Fewer customs holds

Stock is already landed, so replenishment doesn't wait on a port.

Presence

Four countries

India, the USA, the UK and Germany.

In practice

Proven with Hitachi

Base frames, tanks and enclosures, buffered in the US and shipped domestically.

Four decades of proof, not promises.

Founder-led since 1986 — the same family staking its name on every part that leaves the floor.

1986

One shop in Pune.

Today

Six plants, and customers on three continents.

Always

Here for the life of your program — not just the first order.

Start here

Bring us the part that has to be right.

The hard tolerance, the tight deadline, the part your last supplier couldn't hold. Talk to an engineer who can read your drawing — not a call-centre.

Or start smaller — a single part, a pilot batch, or a second source for a program you'd rather not have on one supplier.

Also: Request the capability pack · Book a plant visit

Start a conversation

Send the drawing. It goes straight to an engineer.

Tell us what you need made — the part, the volume, the timeline. If you'd rather just talk first, say so.

Your drawings

Your drawings stay yours. We'll sign your NDA before you send anything — or ours, if you'd rather. Files are shared with the engineers quoting your part and nobody else.

Reviewed by an engineer, not a sales desk.
