What Machine Tools India does

Machine Tools (India) Limited (MTI) is a privately held industrial distribution and service company headquartered in New Delhi, founded in 1928 to serve as the India market-entry channel for foreign machine tool manufacturers. The company imports and resells capital equipment from principals based in Germany, the UK, Italy, Japan, and the USA, spanning metal cutting (CNC turning, milling, drilling, grinding, EDM, honing), sheet metal processing (laser, water jet, plasma cutting, turret punch, shearing, bending), metal forming (mechanical and hydraulic presses, friction screw presses, forging, extrusion, hydroforming), metrology and quality control (CMMs, optical systems, laser scanning, TopMap white-light interferometers), welding and allied equipment, gear machinery, balancing and vibration analysis (CEMB), bearings, tube and pipe making, and turnkey lines for components such as crankshafts, camshafts, cylinder heads, turbine blades, and railway wheel-turning equipment.

MTI's core technology is not proprietary hardware or software; the company is a value-added distributor and systems integrator that bundles imported equipment with application engineering, installation, commissioning, calibration, retrofitting, Annual Maintenance Contracts, and spare-parts logistics supported by a 50,000-SKU inventory. The operating model is built on a pan-India direct field-sales and service network staffed by 325 professionals, including more than 165 engineers factory-trained at principals' works and over 100 dedicated service engineers averaging 15+ years of experience. Revenue is generated from one-time equipment sales, recurring service contracts, commissioning fees, and spare-parts turnover, with pricing being project-specific and quote-based rather than publicly listed.

MTI's customer base is enterprise and government, spanning automotive OEMs and tier-1 suppliers (Ashok Leyland, Bajaj Auto, Bosch, Hyundai, Hero MotoCorp, Maruti Suzuki, Tata Motors, TVS, Mahindra), iron and steel (Tata Steel, SAIL, JSW Steel, Jindal Steel & Power), heavy engineering and power (BHEL, NTPC), aerospace and defense (HAL, DRDO, Bharat Dynamics, BrahMos Aerospace, CSIR-NAL), and railways (Indian Railways). The company is ISO 9001:2015 certified and reaches customers through its website, industry exhibitions such as Imtex, Wire India, and Tagma Diemould India, email campaigns, and direct field engagement.
