Germany has conferred the ‘Cross of Order of Merit’, the highest honour awarded to individuals for their services to the country, to industrialist Babasaheb N. Kalyani.
Kalyani is the chairman and managing director of Bharat Forge, which has manufacturing operations across 5 countries, including Germany.
The recognition is granted to those who make a significant contribution in social, intellectual, economic or political departments.
Kalyani was honoured by the German Ambassador to India Michael Steiner at a function organised in Mumbai on Wednesday.
“Kalyani is an individual who has played a major role in strengthening the business and economic ties between India and Germany. He has made significant contributions in setting up business operations in Germany and collaborating with German Universities to develop next generation technology, which has and will continue to benefit both of our countries and global customers alike,” Steiner said.
Bharat Forge’s relationship with Germany began when it acquired the German operations of Carl Dan Peddinghaus GmbH & Co. KG (now renamed as CDP Bharat Forge GmbH) in early 2004.
