Rajkot's Precision Forging Company — Shapar GIDC, Gujarat
Shivam Forge is a leading forging manufacturer in Rajkot, Gujarat, operating from the Shapar GIDC industrial estate. With over 20 years of hot forging experience, we supply precision closed-die forgings in weights from 0.1 kg to 500 kg to automotive, oil & gas, agricultural, power generation and general engineering industries — serving customers across India and in 12+ export countries.
Rajkot and the surrounding Shapar–Veraval GIDC belt are home to one of India's densest concentrations of precision engineering, casting and forging manufacturers. This ecosystem — built over 60 years — means raw material, sub-contractors, tooling suppliers and skilled tradespeople are all within 30 km. For our customers, this translates into faster lead times, better sub-supplier quality and competitive pricing that is hard to match from other geographies.
Rajkot's engineering industry dates to the 1960s, originally building on the city's diesel engine and agricultural pump manufacturing base. Over six decades the cluster has evolved to serve automotive OEMs, oil & gas majors, defence and export markets. Today Rajkot district accounts for a significant share of India's small-to-medium forging output, with over 400 registered forging and casting units.
Shivam Forge is located in the Shapar–Veraval GIDC (Gujarat Industrial Development Corporation) estate — one of the best-planned industrial zones in western India. The estate has reliable 3-phase power supply, broad internal roads suitable for heavy vehicle movement, proximity to National Highway 27 and a dedicated industrial water supply — all factors that keep our production consistent and logistics predictable.
Rajkot's technical training ecosystem — ITI institutes, engineering colleges and decades of apprenticeship culture in precision engineering — provides a deep pool of press operators, heat treatment technicians, CNC machinists and quality inspectors. Our 50+ member team includes tradespeople with 10–25 years of hands-on forging experience, a workforce depth that takes years to build in newer industrial locations.
Die sinking, heat treatment sub-contractors, surface coating, plating and precision grinding are all available within 20 km of our facility. This ecosystem means we can source die repairs in hours rather than days, send components for specialist processing without long logistics and bring new parts to first-sample approval faster than facilities in isolated industrial zones.
Rajkot's location in Gujarat places it within 180 km of Mundra Port — India's largest private container port — and 330 km from JNPT (Nhava Sheva). Both ports handle export cargo for Europe, Middle East, USA and Southeast Asia with frequent vessel services. This geography allows Shivam Forge to offer competitive CIF pricing to overseas customers with reliable transit times.
Land, utilities and skilled labour costs in Rajkot's GIDC estates are a fraction of Mumbai or Pune equivalent costs. These structural cost advantages — combined with our integrated forging-to-machining capability — allow Shivam Forge to offer forging prices 25–40% below European and 15–20% below some other Indian city manufacturers for equivalent quality and certification.
Our core capability — closed-die hot forging on 400T to 1600T friction screw and CECO presses. Components from 0.1 kg to 500 kg in a single heat including flanges, hubs, gears, yokes, knuckles, connecting rods, couplings, shafts, rings and custom forms. Materials include EN8, EN24, SAE 4140, ASTM A105, IS 2062 and stainless grades.
Fully machined components — turned, milled, bored and threaded — on CNC lathes and VMCs to customer drawings. Tolerances to IT7 class on turned diameters, ±0.05 mm on face dimensions. CNC machining eliminates the need for customers to source separate machining sub-vendors and keeps lead times tight.
In-house normalizing, annealing, hardening, quench and tempering in calibrated batch furnaces. Hardness testing on every batch. Supply options: as-forged, normalised, Q&T or customer-specified condition. Heat treatment certificates issued for each furnace load.
Transmission shafts, drive shafts, spindles, hollow shafts and stepped shafts forged from EN8, EN24, EN19 and SAE 4140. Rough forgings with allowance, semi-finish turned and fully finished with ground journals to IT6/IT7 depending on application.
Weld neck, slip-on, blind and socket-weld flanges to ANSI, DIN and IS standards. Rigid, flexible and disc couplings for power transmission. All flanges available in rough forged, semi-finish machined and fully machined conditions with bolt hole drilling.
Sample-based or drawing-based custom forgings for OEM customers across automotive, industrial machinery, defence and agricultural sectors. New tooling design and manufacture in-house or through our Rajkot GIDC die-sinking partners, with tool qualification prior to production run approval.
Our manufacturing facility is located in the Shapar–Veraval GIDC, Rajkot — Gujarat 360024. The plant is accessible by road from Rajkot city centre (approximately 12 km) via National Highway 27.

Rajkot's reputation as India's engineering city is not marketing shorthand — it reflects a genuine industrial heritage built over six decades. The Shapar–Veraval GIDC, where Shivam Forge operates, is part of a 400+ unit forging and precision engineering cluster that competes globally on cost, lead time and quality. For buyers sourcing forgings, this concentration means that a manufacturer in Shapar GIDC has access to die-sinking, heat treatment, precision grinding and surface treatment within 20 km — advantages that show up in quoted lead times and the ability to react quickly when a project schedule changes.
Shivam Forge has been manufacturing hot forgings in Rajkot for over 20 years. Our 2,000+ sq. metre Shapar facility runs closed-die forging presses from 400T to 1600T, four calibrated heat treatment furnaces and a CNC machining shop with lathes and VMCs. The product range covers flanges, shafts, gears, yokes, couplings, connecting rods, hubs and custom industrial components in weights from 100 grams to 500 kg. Materials routinely processed include EN8, EN24, SAE 4140, SAE 4340, ASTM A105, IS 2062 and various stainless steel grades.
The practical advantages of sourcing from Rajkot go beyond low unit cost. Rajkot's deep pool of technically trained workers — press operators, heat treatment technicians, CNC machinists — means quality depends on systems and skills, not just machinery. Our team includes toolmakers, quality engineers and forging process specialists with 10 to 25 years of relevant experience.
