About Us

Prag Group of Industries, headquartered in Lucknow, India, is a leading manufacturer of a wide range of specialty engineering products for Railroad, Oilfield & Industrial applications. Products range from specialty rubber and rubber-to-metal bonded products to advanced railway equipment, a variety of polyurethane products, and a wide range of filters and filtration systems.

The company started in 1983, when Mr. Rakesh Jain, a B.Com. (Honors) graduate from Sri Ram College of Commerce, set up a workshop for the manufacture of agricultural diesel engine fuel-injection elements and locomotive miscellaneous spares under the guidance of his father Mr. S. P. Jain, an acclaimed Tool Room engineer of his time.

This workshop, with a staff of 15 employees and total area of 6,000 Sq. Ft., marked the humble beginning of a group whose foundation was laid on relentless hard-work, uncompromising quality, and a vision of constant improvement, innovation, and continual forward movement.

Today, the group has several manufacturing facilities located in India in the cities of Lucknow & Dehradun with a workforce of over 500 people and covered manufacturing area of over 250,000 Sq. Ft., offering one of the most diversified product portfolios in the industry.
