Innovating for Performance. Everyday. Innovation & Product Design at Our DSIR Approved R&D Centre Fluid Controls Private Limited was established in 1974 by Dr. Y.E. Moochhala, a Ph.D. from Northwestern University, the USA with a vision to deliver high quality & high-performance products which delight customers. Fluid Controls® offers customers comprehensive end-to-end “Make in India” solutions for Rail & Metro brake piping arrangements – from design & engineering services to supply of high-performance products and installation services. From its inception in 1974, Fluid Controls® has engaged in original R&D and also has had an ethos of developing products which are indigenous replacements of imported products. Our founder, Dr. Y E Moochhala, left his career in the USA and laid the foundation of Fluid Controls® because he was a strong believer in a self-reliant India. His idea was to develop high quality, high-performance products to suit local prototype climatic and performance expectations.
