Bharat Gears was founded by the tireless Raunaq Singh, a man who aspired to take on the challenges of the liberalization of the Indian economy and the opportunities of the 21 st Century. With his dynamic leadership, Raunaq Singh was instrumental in strengthening Bharat Gears to leadership position it is in today.

Incorporated on 23rd December 1971, BGL is India's largest gear manufacturer. Since commencing business in 1974, BGL entered into the technical know-how with Holcroft, Michigan, U.S.A. for manufacturing Furnaces in May 1983 and with ZF Friedrichshafen, AG, Germany, in 1985 to Mid May,2007 technical and Financial collaboration for manufacturing Gear Boxes. BGL manufactures a wide range of gears for HCV, MCV, LCV, utility and off-highway vehicles. The products includes bevel, straight bevel and transmission gears.

BGL combines a modern line of machinery from all over the world. BGL manufactures a wide range of hypoid/spiral gears, differential gears and shafts, complete automotive transmissions, gearbox sub-assemblies and differential assemblies. World class parallel axis gear grinding and welding machines are deployed to enhance the capabilities to produce internals for heavy-duty power shift transmissions.

BGL's furnace division builds a variety of furnaces - sealed quench, continuous gas carburisers, rotary hearths etc. with technical know-how from AFC-Holcroft, USA. With niche markets in the OEM segment being serviced from the Mumbra plant, BGL felt the need to penetrate the untapped replacement market that comprises about 50% of the auto component industry. The fresh capacity needed to address the opportunity was achieved by the amalgamation of Universal Steel and Alloys Limited with BGL under a scheme of rehabilitation sanctioned by BIFR effective April 1, 1998. The facilities so acquired at Faridabad was upgraded and expanded in May 2000 at substantial investment. Apart from being the largest manufacturer of gears for OEM's in India, BGL is a major exporter to countries around the world.

Both plants are ISO/TS-16949:2002 & Faridabad Plant is ISO 14001:1996 also.
