What G G Automotive Gears does

G.G. Automotive Gears Limited (GGAG) is an Indian public-listed precision gear manufacturer founded in 1974 and headquartered in Dewas, Madhya Pradesh. The company operates two divisions: a Gear Division producing precision ground gears and pinions (1 to 35 module, 100mm to 1500mm OD, up to DIN 4 quality) for locomotive traction and industrial applications, and a Forging Division producing forged components and machined blanks weighing 10–100 kg. Technical capabilities include CNC hobbing (Hofler/Klingelnberg HF600 and HF 1250L), CNC gear grinding (Hofler Rapid 800, Hofler Helix 400, Klingelnberg Rapid 1250K), in-house heat treatment (hardening, tempering, carburizing for components up to 1200mm diameter and 1600mm length), and Klingelnberg P100 precision measurement.

The business model is B2B hardware sales with quote-based, project-driven pricing negotiated directly with large enterprise and government customers. GGAG serves two primary segments: (1) Indian Railways and international locomotive manufacturers (CLW, DLMW, DLW, Alstom, GM, Penn Machine) for traction gears, pinions, axle gears, and engine gears, and (2) heavy industrial customers (Tata Steel, L&T, Paharpur Cooling Towers) across cement, steel, mining, power, marine, and wind applications. Distribution is direct via field sales, with international reach through partnerships covering more than 15 countries. The company is family-led, with Kennedy Gajra as Chairman & Managing Director, and reports a market leadership position in locomotive traction gears spanning more than 40 years.

For FY March 2026, GGAG reported Rs 116.37 crore in revenue (up 1.79% YoY) and Rs 11.12 crore in net profit (up 43.48% YoY), with Q4 FY26 quarterly revenue declining 37.50% YoY to Rs 21.10 crore. Monthly production capacity stands at 500 large gearwheels, 1,500 pinions and shafts, and 500 MT of forgings, supported by ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, ISO 45001:2018, and DSIR center-of-excellence certifications.
