MANUFACTURING EXCELLENCE IN PANDEMIC

The second wave of pandemic was severe. With a huge surge in serious COVID-19 cases, there was a major crisis for medical oxygen as well as cylinders for filling them. At Bharat Forge, we used our manufacturing competencies to address this need at a time when supply chain was disrupted. In a short span of three months, we got the product certified by Bureau Veritas (BV), took approval from Petroleum and Explosive Safety Organization (PESO) and manufactured and supplied 1 lakh robust, safe and light-weight aluminum cylinders. One of the major challenges for BV certification was the need to get some critical tests conducted which nobody else in India did. Our R&D KCTI successfully conducted the test which ensured that we could fulfill the critical need of the nation.
