Every truck hauling freight down a highway, every tractor working a field, every bus carrying a city to work — inside each of them, small steel marvels are turning power into motion. Many of those gears come from Faridabad, from a company that has spent more than five decades perfecting them: Bharat Gears Limited, India’s leading gears manufacturer.
Founded in 1971 and headquartered at 20 KM Mathura Road, Faridabad, Bharat Gears has grown from a single gear-making unit into a three-plant precision engineering house serving major vehicle makers in India and overseas. Its mission, the company says, is to retain and reinforce its position as a leading Indian manufacturer of automotive gears and aggregates — meeting the aspirations of customers in domestic and export markets with on-time, zero-defect supplies.
The gears inside India’s vehicles
Bharat Gears’ craft starts with the ring gear and pinion — the hypoid and spiral sets at the heart of a vehicle’s axle. The company says it manufactures over 450,000 hypoid and spiral ring gear and pinion sets, in sizes from 6 inches to 18.5 inches, using both of the world’s famous gear-generation systems: Gleason face milling and Oerlikon face hobbing. That dual capability, backed by state-of-the-art machines, lets it design and develop gear sets for the most discerning customers.
Around that core, the range fans out: transmission gears and shafts, differential gears, and value-added sub-assemblies, alongside heat-treatment furnaces built on the company’s own metallurgical know-how — from basic steel quality control through precision gear cutting to heat treatment and post-heat-treatment operations. Its Automotive Components Division adds clutch components, turbocharger parts, driveline products, axle shafts, flywheel assemblies and rings, propeller shaft components, steering components and differential cages.
Those parts find their way into heavy, medium and light trucks, buses, passenger cars, utility vehicles, tractors and off-highway equipment, forklift trucks and cooling towers — a quiet presence in almost every corner of India’s moving economy.
Three plants, millions of gears a year
Scale is where the Faridabad story turns impressive. Bharat Gears runs three plants — at Faridabad in Haryana, Mumbra near Thane in Maharashtra, and Lonand in Maharashtra — with annual capacity running into millions of gears: 9.9 million transmission gears a year across the three plants, over a million hypoid ring gear and pinion sets, and a million differential gears and crosses at Mumbra alone.

That capacity, the company says, rests on world-class quality and excellence in customer responsiveness — from metallurgical quality control of basic steel to the precision of gear cutting and heat treatment — all under one roof.
Scale that shows up in the numbers
The company’s audited results record revenue from operations of ₹784 crore in FY26, up from ₹648 crore in FY25 — a measure of how much of India’s automotive production now runs through its gears. More than five decades after its founding, the Faridabad gear house remains what it set out to be: a precision manufacturer whose parts keep the country’s trucks, tractors and buses moving, and whose quiet engineering excellence powers India’s journey, gear by gear.
