| Brief
History |
The
Company was one of the premier British Indian Companies during
pre-independence era. It was mainly involved in Electrical Products,
viz., Motors, Tea Garden Machinery etc.
In 1924, the Company acquired its permanent home at Mayurbhanj
Road at Calcutta. The factory was equipped with an Electrical Repair
Shop for re-winding and repair of Motors, facilities for Carbon
Brush manufacture with carbon blocks imported from Morgan Crudible
Ltd., England, fabrication of small Low Tension Switchgear boards,
and some Tea Machinery assisted by its own Machine Shop, Foundry and
Tool Room.
In 1932, the Company commenced production of
'BIECCO' Fans. These were low priced and aimed
at the mass market.
In the late thirties (1939), in collaboration with Electric
Construction Co. Ltd., Wolverhampton, England, the Company started
manufacturing of small 3 phase A.C. Induction Motors pioneering
indigenous manufacture of motors in the Country.
In 50's decade, BLL pioneered manufacturing of
Switchgear (12 KV range) in India in its product mix. Initially a
British firm, Johnson & Phillips extended technical support for
manufacturing Switchgear.
The Company earned the distinction of having pioneered indigenous
manufacture of 11 KV Switchgears in the Country and achieved the
position of market leader in the field, in competition with imported
switchgears.
In 1991, BLL was the only Company to indigenously develop Vacuum
Circuit Breakers (VCB) up to 1250 Amp at 12 KV range. All other
Companies in the industry had foreign collaborations.
Presently, it is an independent Government of India Enterprise
under the Ministry of Petroleum & Natural
Gas. |
