While India’s policymakers keep announcing “100 GW nuclear by 2047” like it’s a New Year’s resolution, KSB is already busy shipping coolant pumps. In Q2CY25, the company showcased how its portfolio is no longer just about water pumps—it’s nuclear, solar and even residential motors flashing on TV ads. Order book stood at a mighty ₹26,969 million as of June 2025, with nuclear alone clocking ₹1,313 crores. Why it matters? Because few engineering firms are riding both government-backed reactors and farmer-subsidy solar pumps simultaneously. Stick around—things get spicier two scrolls down.
