We started making winches because nobody in India was.

BMC Power Co. was founded in 2017 by Shri Yougesh Ranjan Gupta, on a simple observation: the winches used to erect transmission towers in India were all imported, and the crews who could not afford them were using agricultural tractors instead.

Our engineers spent more than a year developing a machine that was safe, easy to operate and low enough in cost to be a genuine replacement. The result was the 5 ton mechanical winch, which quickly became a staple for Larsen & Toubro, Tata Projects, Ashoka Buildcon, Afcons and others.

Having proved the engineering in the mechanical space, moving to hydraulic power was the natural next step. Our 5 ton hydraulic winch, built entirely in house and carrying patent 334658-001, brings smoother operation and better load control to tower erection and underground cabling work. We are now developing an indigenous tensioner puller, another category that has long been dominated by expensive foreign imports.

The work is deliberately aligned with the Make in India and Viksit Bharat initiatives, and with Power Grid's vision of safety for human life. It also does something more ordinary and more useful: it keeps the money, the spare parts and the service engineers in the country where the towers are being built.
