Did you know? For India’s first national elections in 1951-52, Bombay’s Godrej factory manufactured 12.8 lakh ballot boxes at just ₹5 each. The factory produced up to 22,000 boxes daily, using 820,000 kg of steel, all while meeting strict deadlines. A historic feat of engineering and dedication! #IndianElections #MaharahstraElection2024
