What Mukand does
Mukand Limited, founded in 1937 and headquartered in Mumbai, is a publicly-listed (BSE/NSE: MUKANDLTD) specialty steel and heavy machinery manufacturer operating under the Bajaj Group. The company runs three integrated divisions: a Steel Division producing over 450 grades of alloy steel (blooms, billets, wire rods, round bars, bright bars) at a 600,000+ MTPA facility in Hospet, Karnataka and 180,000+ MTPA of stainless steel at Kalwe, Maharashtra; a Machine Building Division manufacturing custom EOT cranes, gantry cranes, port cranes, and bulk material handling equipment; and an Engineering Construction Division providing design-procurement-project management-construction-commissioning services across steel, power, cement, infrastructure, and oil & gas sectors. Mukand pioneered continuous billet casting, Vacuum Oxygen Decarburization (VOD), and Top & Bottom Blown Oxygen converter technology in India and is the only domestic producer of nuclear-grade stainless steel for the Kalpakkam Nuclear Power Station.
The company monetizes primarily through B2B hardware sales of custom-engineered specialty steel and heavy machinery under quote-based, multi-year enterprise contracts, supplemented by professional services revenue from engineering construction projects. Its go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales targeting automotive OEMs (including Japanese automakers), government/defense entities (ISRO, SAIL, NTPC, Visakhapatnam Port Trust), and industrial customers in aerospace, power, nuclear, and infrastructure, with export reach across 20+ countries. Mukand holds IATF 16949, ISO 9001/14001/45001/50001, and PED certifications, and recently secured Government of India Green Steel certification (2026) backed by a 43.75 MW captive solar partnership with Tata Power Renewable Energy meeting ~70% of power needs. The Sumitomo Corporation holds a 49% stake in the alloy steel JV (MSSSL), formed in 2018.
