About S K Industries

S K Industries (SKI) has been manufacturing hand pumps in Patna, Bihar since 1961. In 1975, SKI became one of the first companies in India to be approved by UNICEF for the Deep Well India Mark II hand pump — approval we still hold today.

Today we manufacture over 30 different types of hand pumps and treadle pumps, including the India Mark 2, Mark 3, Afridev, Tara, Extra Deepwell and Shallow Well models, across multiple factories in India, including our main works in Danapur, Patna.

Certified quality

SKI is ISO-certified and BIS-certified, manufacturing to the Bureau of Indian Standards’ IS 15500 specification for the India Mark II hand pump — the standard widely used in UNICEF and government-backed water programmes.

Where we export

We export to more than 50 countries, supplying community water and rural development projects across most of Africa, and hand-pump-reliant markets in Asia including Afghanistan, Laos, Vietnam and Thailand. We also manufacture pump variants adapted for specific markets, such as a Ghana-modified India Mark 2 hand pump.

As a leading exporter of deep well hand pumps, we keep ready stock of hundreds of India Mark and Afridev pumps, ready to ship at a few days’ notice.
