The first motor to be manufactured in India came from a small engineering shop in Coimbatore. Today, the pump and motor manufacturing sector is among the largest engineering activities in the city.

The pump manufacturing industry in Coimbatore holds a major portion of the total Indian market share. Over the years, the city has become as well known for its pumps as it has for its textiles.

Many brands in the international market are Coimbatore based companies and the quality and technical superiority of the products has helped the sector cater to both domestic and global demands.

Apart from a leading presence in the water pump market, the city’s manufacturing houses also specialize in the manufacture of industrial pumps.

The steady growth of the pump and motor industry has given rise to an active accessory and spares market.
