KBL Secures NABL Accreditation for Pump Testing Facility
Articles- Apr 01,26
Kirloskar Brothers Limited earns NABL accreditation for its pump testing lab, strengthening global credibility and enabling certified performance validation across international markets.
Kirloskar Brothers Limited has secured NABL (National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration Laboratories) accreditation for its Hydraulic Research Centre Pump Testing Laboratory (HRC PTL) at its Kirloskarvadi plant in Sangli, Maharashtra.
KBL is the only pump manufacturing company globally to receive this accreditation. In compliance with ISO/IEC 17025:2017—the international benchmark for testing and calibration laboratories—the accreditation covers a comprehensive range of rotodynamic pumps, including centrifugal, mixed flow and axial pumps, evaluated across multiple performance parameters.
Sanjay Kirloskar, Chairman and Managing Director, KBL, said, “The NABL accreditation is a testament to the relentless pursuit of quality and precision by our engineering teams at Kirloskarvadi. As India accelerates its infrastructure ambitions in energy, water management, irrigation and urban development, we are proud to offer testing capabilities that meet the highest global standards. This is a step forward for quality-driven engineering made in India.”
For buyers across water utilities, power, irrigation and defence, NABL accreditation converts KBL’s pump performance data into independently validated, globally accepted results. This eliminates the need for third-party re-testing and accelerates approvals in government and regulated procurement. As a signatory to the ILAC Mutual Recognition Arrangement, NABL-accredited test results are recognised in over 100 countries, giving KBL’s certifications international acceptance.
India’s pump market, valued at $2.90 billion in 2024, is projected to reach $4.14 billion by 2030 at a CAGR of 6.12 per cent. As global buyers pursue China+1 sourcing strategies and prioritise certified, quality-assured suppliers, KBL’s position as the world’s only NABL-accredited pump manufacturer strengthens its competitiveness in domestic mega-projects and international export markets.
The accreditation enhances KBL’s testing credibility in line with global quality frameworks. The reliability of test results reflects its commitment to customer excellence and reinforces its focus on delivering advanced and dependable pumping solutions for India and global markets.
