He was later joined by his younger brother Brij K Jhawar, a mechanical engineer. The first wire rope reel rolled out of the company in 1962. Its public issue in 1961 was oversubscribed by more than 300 per cent.

It soon became one of the largest manufacturers of wire ropes in the world and the leading speciality steel manufacturer in India. The steel division was recently sold to Tata Steel’s arm Tata Sponge, which was later renamed Tata Steel Long Products.
With a history of over 60 years, the company now has manufacturing bases of wire rope in India, the UK, Dubai and Bangkok.
