Corporate Profile

Investor Relations > Corporate Profile

We are engaged in the diversified business of manufacturing defence application products, dairy equipment products and kitchen equipment. We have entered into various licensing agreement with Defence Research and Development Organisation (“DRDO”) for obtaining the know-how and rights which enable us to manufacture and supply specialized defence application products for the Indian Armed Forces. Under defence application, we provide a wide array of high-performance products for naval applications and other utilities such as ship building steel bulb bar, special steel alloy bricks used as ballast weight for critical applications, super alloys weld consumables like welding wire, flux
and electrodes, food container and improved space heating device, which is also known as bukhari.

In 1997, we started our operations in the dairy equipment manufacturing as a partnership firm, M/s Krishna Industries and over the years our company has developed a wide range of dairy equipment products such as stainless-steel milk Cans, Milk Cooling Tanks or Bulk Milk Coolers, Milking Machine, Cow Brooming Brush and Robotic Milk Collection Unit. Our Company achieved a new milestone in 2015 in the dairy industry after acquiring patent for invention of automated milk analysis and collection apparatus called Robotic Milk Collection Unit (RMCU) up to the year 2035. The developed product works like a kiosk for Milk Collection for Milk Society, and it analyses the farmer milk not only for Fat & SNF but also tests the milk for adulteration. The RMCU ensures only top-quality milk is collected by the Milk Society and below par milk or adulterated milk is rejected.

In the year 2010, we stretched our operations into the business of manufacturing Kitchen Equipment and commenced manufacturing of Bulk Cooking Equipment like Rice Cauldron, Dal Cauldron, Braising Pan, Distribution Vessels, Rice Chute, Dal Storage Tank, which are used by organizations which run Midday Meal Programs where cooking is done for up to 1,00,000 meals a day. Presently we are supplying such products to The Akshayapatra Foundation.
In the year 2006, our Company attempted for the first time to develop ship Building Steel Bulb Bars which was a very critical component for the Indian Navy’s indigenization program and the attempt successfully yielded the result in the trial batch exactly as per the requirement of the Indian Navy. We received appreciation certificate from Defence Metallurgical Research Laboratory (DMRL), Hyderabad for successfully carrying out the project of manufacturing the indigenized steel Bulb Bars which are used in hull construction of Naval warships. The project was of national importance involving import substitution.

Over the years our Company was awarded Transfer of Technology for manufacture and sale of various defence application products to be supplied to Indian Armed forces like: 5.5 Ltr Plastic Food Container for Extreme Cold Condition, Space Heating Device (Bukhari) used at high altitude in very Cold conditions, Man Mounted Cooling Krishna Defence and Allied Industries Limited 118 System to be used in extremely Hot Conditions as well as cold conditions, Solar Snow Melter to be used at high altitude, Improvised Explosive Device (IED) Containment Vessel to be used for protection and Mounting & support Equipment for Camouflage Net. We have successfully developed the 5.5 ltrs Plastic Food Container, Improved Space heating device or Bukhari and Super alloys weld
consumables like Welding Wire, flux and Electrodes and are ready to market the same. We are now in the stage of developing Man Mounted Cooling System, Solar Snow Melter, Improvised Explosive Device (IED) Containment Vessel and Mounting & support Equipment for Camouflage Net.

We have received developmental order from Indian Navy for developing Super Alloy Weld Consumables which will be used in critical applications, wherein the delivery of first lot is expected to be completed in last quarter of this financial year. Lately in the year 2021 we successfully developed and delivered the first order for Special Steel Alloy Bricks used as Ballast weight for critical applications of the Indian Navy.
