Kirloskar Brothers supports INS Taragiri with pump systems

14 Apr 2026 CW Team

Kirloskar Brothers (KBL) has contributed to INS Taragiri, the Indian Navy’s stealth-guided missile frigate, supporting India’s indigenous defence manufacturing programme.

KBL has supplied precision-engineered Canned Motor Pumps (CMPs), critical to the vessel’s onboard systems. These pumps are designed for leak-proof operation, high reliability and low maintenance, with compact, low-noise and low-vibration performance suited for naval environments.

INS Taragiri is part of India’s indigenisation drive in defence, representing advanced naval engineering and self-reliance in shipbuilding. KBL’s contribution adds to its track record in supplying systems for naval platforms such as INS Nilgiri, INS Surat, INS Himgiri, INS Udaygiri and INS Dunagiri.

The development aligns with the Government of India’s Atmanirbhar Bharat initiative, reinforcing domestic manufacturing capabilities in critical defence infrastructure.

Through continued involvement in indigenous naval projects, KBL strengthens its position in high-performance engineering solutions while supporting operational reliability and maritime capability.
