Why is Moradabad called the brass city?

Moradabad has made brass and metal handicrafts for generations and is India's largest metal handicraft export centre. Today it also works in aluminium, iron, copper and stainless steel.

What does Jamnagar make?

Jamnagar is India's main centre for brass parts: fittings, inserts, electrical terminals and turned components made on automatic lathes and CNC machines.

Is Indian brass lead-free?

Standard free-cutting brass contains lead. If you need lead-free or low-lead brass for drinking water or children's products, specify the alloy and test for it.
