Pune: In a testimony to the continuous improvement in quality standards, Bharat Forge’s Aerospace Business Division successfully achieved the Nadcap® accreditation for Metallic Materials Manufacturing, raising the bar for quality standards for its products and manufacturing facility. Bharat Forge Limited become the first organization in India to achieve this feat. The certification is a testimony for the continued commitment to quality that will pave the path for new and enhanced business opportunities with better control over the manufacturing process ensuring “Zero Defect” compliance.

While a Nadcap® audit is a defined moment in time for which Auditees prepare in advance, actually creating and maintaining a culture of compliance within an organization is a constant endeavour and often a thankless task. Consequently, and in recognition of

their hard work, I am delighted to congratulate Bharat Forge for achieving Nadcap accreditation,” said David Schutt, President and Chief Executive Officer at the Performance Review Institute®.
