We started in a 200-square-foot office in Al Quasis with one hydraulics distributorship and a fax machine. 23 years later we ship 1,100+ SKUs across the GCC — and we still know the bore, rod and stroke of every cylinder we sell.
Indus Hydraulics was founded in 2003 by Ravi Bhatt, a mechanical engineer who got tired of watching UAE plants wait six weeks for a replacement valve. The company was built around a single idea: stock the parts engineers actually need, ship them today.
Started as a sole-trader hydraulics trading company in Al Quasis, importing genuine pumps and valves for UAE industrial customers. First customer: a steel re-rolling mill in Sharjah Industrial Area.
Shipped our first cross-border project consignment to Dammam, Saudi Arabia. Discovered our future was regional, not just local.
Moved into our current 14,000 sq.ft. facility off Al Nahda Street. Consolidated stock under one roof for the first time.
Brought hydraulic hose crimping and fittings assembly in-house. Replacement assemblies that used to take days now leave the workshop the same afternoon.
Made our applications team free for any customer with a question — from a circuit diagram to a failed-seal photo.
Opened a Jebel Ali Free Zone bonded position for tax-efficient regional distribution across the GCC and wider MENA.

We quote from real inventory. If something isn't stocked, we say the lead time upfront — never after you've committed.
When you call with a technical question, you reach an applications engineer — not a call centre. We know the spec sheet, not just the catalogue number.
Our quote is a fixed-price commitment. No undisclosed freight surcharges, no "minimum order uplift" sprung at invoice.
Send us your hardest-to-source SKU. We respond within 4 hours — often in minutes.
