Two
young engineers Mohan Balani
and Gurmukh Khatri decided
to start an enterprise for
making monoblock pumps for
irrigation. They left their
jobs in Mumbai and reached
Anand in Gujarat on 15th
August, 1966, to start a
pump manufacturing unit.
Anand was a small dusty
town, made famous by Dr.
Kurien through his efforts
at setting up AMUL. They
named their company, `Hi-Eff
Pumps’ and this brand
soon became popular all
over India. |

Hi-Eff
pumps tied up with big Indian
companies like Ralliwolf
and NGEF to make special
pumps and equipment for
defence and agricultural
applications. It started
marketing its pumps all
over India and was recognized
amongst the top five pump
brands in India. The partnership
spilt up in 1987 and Mohan
Balani became the sole owner
of the company. |

With
growing competition and availability
of very low cost pumps for agricultural
applications, the sales of Hi-Eff
pumps started declining. In July
1992, Mr. Balani, met with a serious
car accident which turned him into
a total paraplegic and he was confined
to a life in the wheel-chair. However,
with the support of his family,
he returned to an active working
life in 1993. He shut down Hi-Eff
pumps and started a new venture
to manufacture PMDC Motors. Rotomag
was incorporated in August 1993. |

1998 |
Rotomag
was the first PMDC motor company
in India to be awarded ISO 9001
certification. Product development
team was formed to develop custom
motors and reducers. Rotomag also
developed motors and pumps for the
Solar photovoltaic applications
and was amongst the few companies
in the world to manufacture Solar
pumps till 3 HP. Rotomag was chosen
by the Indian Ministry of Non-conventional
Energy Sources for deployment of
solar photovoltaic pumping in rural
India. |
