The Indian cutting tool industry is currently worth 80 billion, but it only accounts for around 2% of total global output, presenting a significant opportunity for Indian manufacturers to bridge the gap with advanced countries such as Japan, China, Germany, and Taiwan. The Machine Tool Industry is expected to increase at a CAGR of around 12% between 2021 and 2025, owing to rising Industrial Automation, the expansion of the Automotive & Steel Industries, and a greater focus on defense, railways, and aerospace manufacture. Due to the sheer high level of competition, the complexity of the workpiece, and the resulting need to enhance efficiency and quality, tailored cutting solutions are becoming increasingly important.
The Indian cutting tool industry has a healthy mix of largescale multinationals and SMEs, with SMEs assisting India in making significant strides in programs such as Make in India and Atma Nirbhar Bharat. Significantly, Mandelia Engineering Works (MEW) is one such major player in this space that focuses on the manufacturing and delivery of all types of cutting saws, blades, knives, and tools. “At MEW, we believe customer engagement is the key. We have a highly experienced and dedicated team for studying the customers’ requirements and developing innovative solutions to meet expectations,” signifies Rahul Mandelia, Owner of Mandelia Engineering Works.
MEW strives to stay ahead of the competition in manufacturing by designing, programming, and producing standard and bespoke tools with cutting-edge CAD-CAM technology. The firm has a central tool repository to assure consistency between production lots and maintains the stringent standards required to meet the needs of the professionals who use its products by using premium materials such as ceramics and polycrystalline diamond (PCD) in its products. Its billet and bloom shear blades are made from a variety of alloy steels. When cutting slabs, billets, and blooms at high temperatures, custom hardening and tempering in a temperature-controlled furnace improves wear life, stability, and toughness of the blades. Further, its hot saw and cold saw blades (up to 3200mm diameter) are engineered to run at high RPMs and feeding rates with the least inclination to crack, allowing it to meet high production demands while ensuring the lowest cost per cut.
MEW works to enhance efficiency and optimize processes in order to maximize productivity in its own and its clients' operations.

MEW's skilled manufacturing team draws on over 20 years of combined experience to reliably deliver maximum performance. MEW's corporate culture is defined by its passion for customers and personal commitment, and its highly driven marketing and sales team has enabled the company consistently double its turnover over the last five years.
MEW began operations as a trading company in 2012 and transitioned to manufacturing in the year 2014. Since then the firm has grown multifold and created a name for itself in the market owing to the dynamic stewardship of Rahul Mandelia. Rahul Mandelia holds an MSc Strategic Management degree from Bayes Business School, London, and oversees the entire operations of the company. Over the last 3 years, the firm has achieved an average annual growth rate of 69.12% and apart from domestic sales, the firm is at present exporting to over 25 + countries. “At MEW, we are committed to making the manufacturing of saw blades efficient and sustainable. We believe a single tool is all it takes to turn a job that needs doing, into a job well done. Making our customers’ lives less complex is the key. Our goal is to make MEW the first preferred choice company in the Global Tooling industry, contributing to social progress through business operations that stress value creation through high-tech solutions,” concludes Rahul Mandelia.
