Balu Forge Industries Limited has announced the commencement of operations at its new precision machining unit in Belgaum, Karnataka, featuring 7-axis and 11-axis CNC machines—one of the first such installations in the region.
The new machining line strengthens the company’s manufacturing capabilities, enabling it to produce high-precision, complex components for critical sectors including aerospace, defence, and railways. With a capacity of 12,000 tons per annum, the infrastructure is designed to handle tight tolerances, advanced geometries, and faster turnaround requirements.
According to the company, the CNC equipment has been sourced from Spain and Germany, allowing it to machine parts up to 2.5 metres in length across materials like aluminium and titanium. These advancements enhance production of critical components such as turbine blades, valve bodies, impellers, brackets, and landing gear parts.
Commenting on the development, Trimaan Chandock, Executive Director at Balu Forge, said the installation marks “a significant milestone” in the company’s journey, adding:
“This precision machining line reinforces Balu Forge’s position in high-precision engineering. It introduces niche machining infrastructure that exists only with a limited number of companies globally.”
The initiative aligns with Balu Forge’s broader strategy to expand its precision engineering portfolio, with additional production lines for defence and aerospace set to become operational in phases.
Balu Forge Industries, founded by Prehlad Singh Chandock, operates from a 46-acre integrated forging and machining facility in Belgaum and caters to sectors such as automotive, industrial equipment, wind energy, and oil & gas. The company continues to focus on innovation, automation, and global partnerships as part of its long-term growth strategy.
