[Shaleen]

HMT Limited, formerly Indian Tool, is a state-owned manufacturing company under the Ministry of Heavy Industries and Public Enterprises in India

HMT was entrusted the vital task of building machine tools and in 1953 the first Machine tool factory was set up in Bangalore.

Panditji’s vision to bring-in a sense of time consciousness among the Indians, his belief that India was capable of manufacturing precision components generated the pace for setting up a watch manufacturing unit within the country. In 1961, Government of India entrusted the job to HMT due to its capability, name and fame amongst the public sectors.

HMT set up a watch manufacturing Unit at Bangalore in collaboration with M/s Citizen Watch Co., Japan in 1961. As the first manufacturer of Wrist watches in the country, HMT successfully absorbed the totally new precision manufacturing technology for mass production, and assembly of micro sized components.
