Delivering reliable deep irrigation wells in India under extreme drilling conditions
In the arid districts of Jasel, Choumi, and Churri in India, access to groundwater is vital for sustaining agriculture. Farmers in these regions rely on deep irrigation wells to secure a steady water supply in an environment where rainfall can be unpredictable and temperatures can soar to extreme levels. Drilling to such depths under harsh site conditions leaves little room for equipment failure.
Chicago Pneumatic CPS 1350-425 portable air compressors powering deep irrigation well drilling with Marudhar Drilling & Borewells in India.
Marudhar Drilling & Borewells, a specialist in drilling, water well development, and groundwater exploration, partnered with Chicago Pneumatic in 2015 to support its irrigation and solar projects with reliable, fuel-efficient equipment. Over the years, the company has continued to rely on the same solutions, valuing their consistent performance and long‑term reliability across demanding applications.
With more than two decades of experience, Marudhar Drilling & Borewells supports residential, agricultural, and industrial sectors by providing access to groundwater in areas where it is often difficult to reach.
Drilling deep in extreme conditions
Today, the company’s primary focus lies in irrigation wells in the Jasel, Choumi, and Churri districts in India. These projects demand drilling depths of 1,500 to 1,700 feet (between 457.20 and 518.16 meters). Ambient temperatures can reach up to 50°C, and soil and terrain conditions can differ from site to site. This creates a need for compressors that deliver consistent performance, fuel efficiency, and long-term reliability, even during extended drilling operations.
In addition, Marudhar requires dependable equipment for its solar projects, supported by responsive service to ensure smooth operations across multiple demanding applications.
Chicago Pneumatic portable compressors for multiple applications
For deep irrigation well drilling, Marudhar deploys three CPS 1350-425 portable air compressors. These units support drilling depths of approximately 1,650 feet and operate continuously across multiple sites. Even after years of use, the units continue to deliver steady output and dependable performance, even in high-temperature conditions.
For its solar projects, the company relies on two CPS 1200 units and one CPS 1100. By using Chicago Pneumatic portable air compressors across both applications, Marudhar maintains consistent performance in different working environments.
For our irrigation wells in these districts, we needed portable air compressors that could keep a steady output at depth and hold up in tough site conditions. We chose Chicago Pneumatic because the machines match the demands of deep drilling and support different types of work. Over more than five years of use, we’ve seen reliable performance on site and fuel efficiency that helps keep operating costs under control. Just as importantly, the equipment has stayed consistent across projects, which makes it easier for our teams to plan and keep work moving.
A partnership built on reliability and local support
An important part of that success is Chicago Pneumatic collaboration with URSS, its authorized dealer in Rajasthan. With a strong local presence and experience in service support, URSS ensures timely response and on-site assistance, which is essential for customers working in remote drilling environments.
Marudhar Drilling & Borewells operates in conditions where depth, temperature, and site variability place constant demands on equipment. From the start of our collaboration, the focus was on selecting units that could deliver reliable output for deep irrigation wells while also supporting their solar projects. Over time, this partnership has shown how consistent performance and fuel efficiency contribute directly to operational stability.
