Cummins Group’s
50-year saga of success
in India
Cummins in India, a leading manufacturer of engines,
generators and related components and technologies,
completed 50 years (1962-2012) of its operations in In-
dia in April. Cummins’ presence in India stems from a
joint venture incorporated in 1962. Ground was broken
for a factory in Pune the same year and the plant be-
gan manufacturing engines at the beginning of 1964. In
1997, Cummins Inc. increased its stake to 51 per cent
with the rest being traded on the Bombay Stock Ex-
change. With this, the joint venture became a consoli-
dated subsidiary of Cummins Inc. and continues till date
as Cummins India Ltd. By 2004, Cummins had formed
multiple legal entities in India, including joint ventures.
Today, Cummins has grown
to incorporate eight legal en-
tities (including affiliated)
