Small machine shops in Bhosari, Chakan and Pimpri-Chinchwad lose money every hour an old CNC machine or lathe sits broken. A fast local repair and upgrade service keeps these auto-parts suppliers running.

This is a repair and upgrade service for the machine tools that small engineering units run every day. You fix CNC (computer-controlled) lathes and milling machines, replace worn control units, motor drives and spindles, and fit modern controls onto older manual machines. Yearly maintenance contracts give you steady income between breakdown calls.
Pune is one of India's main vehicle and auto-parts centres, with a deep supplier base around Chakan, Pimpri-Chinchwad and Talegaon, and engineering goods are the district's chosen 'one district, one product'. Many of these suppliers are small job shops making parts for large vehicle plants. NABARD's 2023-24 credit plan for Pune names technology upgrades for small industrial units as a missing piece, and puts small and medium industry (MSME) credit potential at Rs 31270.50 crore.
You need solid electrical and electronics skills, a few years of shop-floor experience, a fault-finding kit, a test bench and a stock of common spares. The hard part is people: good technicians are scarce and big plants often hire them away. Small shops can pay late, so agree payment terms first.
Find customers by visiting units in the MIDC (state industrial) estates, talking to machine dealers who do not offer service, and joining local industry associations. One fast fix during a rush order often turns a shop into a regular client.
