In a yet another milestone for R&D Multiples, we are proud to announce that we have successfully
delivered 19 nos of 3000mm/120’’ Butterfly valves with a design pressure rating of 1.6 MPa in a record
time of 5 months post manufacturing clearance from the client. These valves will subsequently be
installed in the prestigious Narmada Malwa Gambhir river link project in the state of Madhya Pradesh,
India. This project intends to provide irrigation facilities in 158 villages covering 50,000 hectares of
area in Indore and Ujjain districts.

The activities conducted during these 5 months include detailed engineering, FEA analysis (for
optimization of the design), pattern making and then procurement of castings from a reputed, wellequipped
foundry. Our team then worked round the clock to make sure that we meet the required
delivery deadline. This is the largest diameter valve that we have manufactured till date and beats our
previous best of 2800mm/112” hydraulically operated butterfly valve that we manufactured in 2016
for NTPC’s Kudgi thermal power station. In addition to these 19 valves, we also delivered 122 nos of
valves (butterfly and gate valves combined) for the same project of sizes ranging from 200mm to
2500mm in the same timeframe. This further demonstrates our execution capabilities and is a clear
source of advantage to all our customers.
