About Us

Del PD Pumps & Gears, an Ingersoll Rand Inc. (NYSE: IR) company, has emerged as a leading and dominant manufacturer of rotary positive displacement gear pumps in the Indian subcontinent. The company offers the widest range of compact, reliable, efficient, and innovative rotary gear, twin-gear, and triplet-twin gear pumps for a variety of viscous and semi-viscous liquid handling applications.

The company commenced its operations in 1980 as a small proprietary venture with a vision to design, develop, manufacture, and market these pumps. It started with small, cost-effective, general-purpose gear pumps that were readily available through an extensive dealer network.

This customer-focused approach ensured sustained growth and enabled the company to successfully expand into the OEM and project business segments.
