WPIL Limited, formerly known as Worthington Pump India Ltd, was established in 1952. The company underwent a name change to WPIL Limited on September 17, 1996, following the disinvestment of their stake and the termination of the Technology License Agreement with Ingersoll-Dresser Pump Co., USA. It specializes in manufacturing and marketing a variety of Vertical and Horizontal Pumps of different sizes, essential for applications such as Lift irrigation, major irrigation schemes, and Thermal/Nuclear power plants.
WPIL Limited operates across various sectors including power, irrigation, water supply, and industry, providing a range of pumps and offering turnkey project execution services. With extensive engineering expertise and experience, the company manages two manufacturing facilities located in Panihati, Kolkata, and Ghaziabad, U.P. The Panihati plant focuses on large Vertical Turbine Pump manufacturing, while the Ghaziabad plant produces Submersible Pumps and Castings.
The company has made significant strides in energy efficiency by commissioning an Induction furnace to replace existing Cupola furnaces in January 2012. Notable achievements include commissioning India's largest metallic CW Pumps for the Rajpura Power Plant in 2014, exporting Sea Water pumps in super duplex steel, and successfully completing projects in various power plants.
Further expansions and acquisitions have been undertaken, such as the operationalization of the Engineered Pump Division in Nagpur in 2015, commissioning Ash Slurry Handling Pumps in thermal power plants, and completing the Pranahita Chevalla Lift Irrigation projects in Telangana in 2016. Additionally, the acquisition of Gruppo Aturia, an Italian group of Pump Companies, and the restructuring of international business in 2017 mark significant milestones.
In 2019, WPIL Limited expanded its portfolio by acquiring the Oil & Gas business of Finder Pompe and United Pumps Australia. Noteworthy projects in 2023 include the commissioning of large 30MW pump turbines at Package 20 of the Kaleswaram Lift Irrigation Scheme and the Pressurized Irrigation Scheme at Chambal, Madhya Pradesh.
