Since the company started commercial production, it faced many problems due to recession in the automobile industry and the communal riots all over the country. But during 1992-93, the company started getting orders from Escorts' tractor division, and Yamaha and Hero. Only in 1993-94 did the situation improve, after the auto industry started showing encouraging signals. Demand for two-wheelers and the subsequent demand for gears increased rapidly, and the company's supplies to Hero Puch and Escorts Yamaha gave a boost to its production and sales. During this time, the company introduced their own brand Raunaq gears in the replacement market.
