Precihole Machine Tools is one of the market leaders in the Machine Tool Industry. Would you like to share the success story of your company?
Precihole’s journey is a testament to the power of vision, innovation, and unwavering determination. Founded in 1990 by three technocrats with a passion for precision engineering, the company was born out of a desire to transform the deep hole drilling landscape in India. At a time when this niche technology was largely imported and underdeveloped locally, Precihole set out to fill a critical gap.
What began in a modest 1,000 sq.ft facility has today evolved into a sprawling 150,000+ sq.ft manufacturing ecosystem spread across three state-of-the-art facilities in the suburbs of Mumbai. Our founding philosophy was simple but bold: deliver precision-engineered, high-quality solutions that are built for the long haul and adaptable to customer needs.

Over the years, we’ve consistently embraced change, invested in R&D, and adapted to the evolving needs of global industries. We were the first private Indian company to manufacture and supply firearm barrels to Indian ordnance factories—a landmark achievement in indigenous defense manufacturing. Our relentless pursuit of quality and innovation has helped us grow into a trusted brand with over 500 customers across 20+ countries.

Despite challenges like economic slowdowns and the global pandemic, we’ve grown steadily—achieving Rs. 150 crore in revenue in FY 2024-25 and targeting Rs. 250 crore for 2025–26. Our story is still being written, but it’s one that continues to inspire engineering excellence, both in India and around the world.

What is your opinion about Deep hole Drilling Machine & its quality in India as far as Precihole is concerned?
Deep hole drilling is one of the most complex and technically demanding machining processes in manufacturing. Precision, repeatability, and reliability are non-negotiable when dealing with bores that run up to 12 meters in length or as small as 1mm in diameter. For many years, India relied on foreign machines to meet these high precision requirements, especially in critical industries like defense, aerospace, and oil & gas.

At Precihole, we’ve not only bridged this gap but elevated the perception of Indian engineering on the global stage. Our machines match, and in many cases exceed the quality and performance of
international counterparts. We’ve optimized our technology stack to focus on:

• Superior hole straightness and surface finish
• Minimal material waste
• Reduced cycle times
• Intelligent automation and ease of use

The belief that “Indian machines are not world-class” no longer holds true—our machines are exported to over 20 countries, and we’re gaining ground even in highly competitive markets like the USA and Europe. With continuous investment in product design, materials, and control systems, we’ve made Precihole synonymous with Indian-made precision.

Can you discuss the impacts of increasing inflation on Precihole?

Inflation has become a global concern, especially in the manufacturing sector where input costs such as steel, electronics, energy, and logistics have seen substantial hikes. For a company like Precihole, where high-quality precision materials and tight tolerances are the norm, the impact is significant—but manageable.

We’ve adopted a multi-pronged strategy to mitigate inflationary pressures:

Strategic sourcing: We maintain long-term relationships with key suppliers to negotiate better pricing and avoid short-term price volatility.

Vertical integration: Our in-house component manufacturing gives us greater control over costs and quality.

Lean manufacturing: Continuous improvement initiatives help us reduce waste and optimize labor and energy usage.

Value engineering: We re-engineer components and assemblies to reduce cost without compromising performance.

Customer value focus: Instead of passing on costs directly, we focus on creating added value—so that customers continue to see Precihole as an investment, not an expense.

While inflation remains a challenge, our ability to adapt quickly and maintain operational excellence has ensured that we stay competitive, reliable, and customer-focused, even in a turbulent economic climate.
