Shalimar Valves was incorporated in 1977 as Shalimar Engineering by its
promoter Mr. Y.G.Raj. The company was a proprietary concern mainly concentrating
on the manufacturing of valves catering to Original Equipment Manufacturers as
import substitutes. The first products to be developed were Wedge Gate Valves, Globe Valves, Check Valves, Ball valves & Strainers.

We began by selling valves under Indian Boiler Regulations, then went on by developing designs to API standards. From being an Indian domestic player,
Shalimar started in 1985, to export for the first time through recognized export
houses in India.

The company went from strength to strength and in 1988 the employees of
Shalimar exceeded over a hundred in numbers, a rare happening in the valve
industry of India at that time.

To foster the growing demand, Shalimar Valves expanded & doubled its production capacity in 1992. In the same year the company started exporting for the first time all by itself under the brand name ‘SHALIMAR’. In 1993 the company started manufacturing Bellow Seal Gate & Globe valves. It was also the year of a remarkable feat. 50% of Shalimar’s turnover came only through the export market. After having proven its name in gate, globe, check and ball valves, Shalimar then successfully developed and started manufacturing valves for slurry application, i.e.Y-type globe valves & Flush bottom valves. In 1998 the fruits of success began to reap...Shalimar achieved the prestigious ISO certification for its systems. Armed with world recognition, the company started manufacturing Trunion mounted Ball Valves & Parallel Slide gate valves.

In the new millennium Shalimar Valves expanded to a bigger unit in Rabale, Navi Mumbai tripling its capacity over the already doubled capacity in 1992. The hi-tech new facility catered not only to our capacity expansion but also facilitated manufacturing of new products - Pressure seal Gate, Globe & Check valves and forged steel valves- a different category, other than cast steel valves. The company grew in leaps and bounds.

In 2001 the company successfully tested a ball valve in a fire safe test bed and a year later Shalimar participated in the Valve World exhibition at Netherlands. Shalimar Valves soon became to a name to reckon with. In 2003 the company won the API and CE certification. Two years later the company successfully designed & manufactured angle slurry valves – a major import substitution. The growth continues. New products continue to be developed. We are now expanding three times. Investing in in-house Foundry, Special purpose machines, enhanced design facilities are among current activities in Shalimar. Being an engineering design oriented company, diversification has always been a part of Shalimar’s growth. In 1983, working on backward integration, the company invested in a foundry – Aqua Alloys that makes castings not only for oil and gas sector but also wear-resistant castings for the cement and construction industry.

In 1995, to strengthen its supply chain, Shalimar integrated forward by investing in Mega Engineering, a fasteners manufacturing unit. Growing further and then working on lateral integration, the group founded in 2004 Silverline Industrial Engineering in UAE, a steel fabrication company for the oil and gas industry. Growing in leaps and bounds the company invested in Manarah Arabiah – a company in electro-mechanical contracting in UAE & Oman. The group also owns a branding and media company – Liquid Communications FZE in UAE & Oman and a general trading company – Xcell Gen. Trading  - UAE.

Over three decades Shalimar Valves have evolved to create a company known for stablishing long-term partnerships and customer delight.
