 for manufacturing ductile iron parts, commenced commercial production
 in 
 the year 1985, to serve as an ancillary unit to meet the requirements
 of

 requirements 
 of farm equipment manufacturers and other heavy commercial vehicle
 manufacturers like Tata Motors, Mahindra & Mahindra, Tata Cummins,
