Gurnam Singh
& Company
Seventy years of bringing water up — from one shallow borewell for a Punjab farmer in 1955, to the only rig in the country that reaches a full kilometre, and the pipelines that carry it to the tap.
The deepest bore in India.
Designed and built
by our own engineers.
Founded in 1955 at Dera Bassi, Punjab by Sardar Gurnam Singh Saini, and led today by Chairman & Managing Director Sardar Gurdarshan Singh Saini. Three generations, one trade, one town.
We survey the ground, drill the well, case it, develop it, install the pump, lay the pipeline and connect the tap. Complete water infrastructure — for state departments, defence establishments, industry and farmers across more than ten states and Indian territories.
Six things no other
Indian drilling company
can put on a page.
A full kilometre
Our in-house reverse rotary rig drives a 30-inch bore to roughly one kilometre — about 3,200 feet. Designed and fabricated by our own engineers, in Punjab. There is no second machine like it in India.
Dual Rotary, first in India
We brought the Foremost DR-24 HD from Calgary — the first Dual Rotary rig in the country. It drills and drives steel casing at the same time, through boulder beds that stop everything else.
500 million gallons a day
What our wells put into supply every day, across cities, villages, farms, municipal bodies, defence establishments and government projects nationwide.
The sites others refuse
Kandi and Bhabhar boulder belts. Uttarakhand hill country where groundwater hides. Jammu & Kashmir through the militancy years, with gunfire at the site and machinery damaged.
Seventy unbroken years
Founded 1955. Still run by the same family, from the same town, in the same trade. More than 10,000 tubewells, and a client list that starts with the Government of Punjab.
Recognised abroad
Members of the National Ground Water Association (USA) since 1987, the Australian Drilling Industry Association and the Indian Water Works Association. ISO 9002 certified.
Built in-house.
Ready for anything.
Every machine in the fleet is on the Fleet page.
Water was never
only a business.
The same family has served Dera Bassi for seven decades without a break — since the founder's own lifetime, and alongside Bibi Labh Kaur, who laid the foundation stone of a new ward at the town's civil hospital herself.
A hospital built and handed to the Punjab Government. A government school dedicated to the founder's name. Free water sewa to more than 5,000 families. Homes rebuilt after the Punjab floods.
