Introduction: Kirloskar Brothers Limited’s (KBL) association with Egypt started in the year 1989 with an order of erecting and commissioning of 4 pumping stations in the South Quaronn area. These stations included vertical pumps and motor ratings along with delivery pipe fittings for the General Authority for Rehabilitation Project and Agricultural Development (GARPAD).
