The Kirloskar Centenary
India Post issued this ₹1 stamp on 20 June 1989. The Kirloskar story began in 1888, when Laxmanrao Kirloskar opened a small bicycle repair shop at Belgaum. He and his brothers built the model industrial colony of Kirloskarvadi, and Kirloskar Brothers Limited became the parent of a group of 26 companies. After the Second World War his eldest son, S. L. Kirloskar, founded Kirloskar Electric at Bangalore and Kirloskar Oil Engines at Pune in 1946, followed by Kirloskar Pneumatic in 1958 and Kirloskar Cummins in 1962.
