Four Decades of
Keeping India Safe

The story of IJS Electronics, the GRAND brand, and the family that built India's emergency vehicle warning industry from the ground up.

44+ Years 29 Patents 13+ Police Forces

A Family Built
on Purpose

S. Indarjit Singh Chhabra founded IJS Electronics in Delhi in 1981 โ€” a Public Address System manufacturer built on a simple belief: make products that serve people when it matters most.

His son, Jaspal Singh Chhabra, joined the company from the ground floor at his father's insistence. Indarjit believed that to run a successful business, one must have hands-on experience of every internal process โ€” and he made sure Jaspal understood the company from the inside out.

In 1988, Jaspal introduced the concept of the red-blue emergency light bar system to India for the first time โ€” under the brand name GRAND. Within months of its launch, the system was installed on the President of India's car. The GRAND brand was born.

In 1996, Jaspal Singh Chhabra assumed full leadership of IJS Electronics. Under his stewardship over the next three decades, the company grew to hold 29 registered design patents, achieve ISO 9001 certification, and supply India's most critical emergency fleets โ€” from the President's vehicle to police forces across every state.

S. Indarjit Singh Chhabra

S. Indarjit Singh Chhabra spent 35 years as a partner at Ahuja Radios โ€” one of India's foremost public address system companies, serving the Indian Police Forces and government institutions. In 1981, he founded IJS Electronics, channelling three decades of expertise into building India's most trusted emergency warning products manufacturer.

Beyond business, S. Indarjit Singh Chhabra was a pillar of Delhi's civic life. He served as Charter President of Lions Club Delhi Fort, Assistant Governor of Lions Club District 321A, President of the All India Radio Electronic Association, Worshipful Master of Masonic Club Delhi Janpath, President of Gurudwara Sri Guru Singh Sabha GK II, and President of the International Punjabi Federation. He was honoured with the Lifetime Achievement Award by the Electronic Industry.

His principles guided the company from its first day: quality without compromise, and service before self.

Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru inaugurates the Ahuja Radios factory, Okhla Industrial Estate โ€” April 1958. Accompanied by Indira Gandhi and Lal Bahadur Shastri.

Managing Director ยท IJS Electronics
"We build products as if someone's life depends on it."

Jaspal Singh Chhabra has led IJS Electronics since 1996, building on the foundation his father laid and transforming the company into India's pioneer in emergency vehicle warning products.

His passion for product design drove him to join the company from the ground up โ€” mastering every process before taking the helm. In 1988, it was Jaspal who introduced the red-blue emergency light bar system to India for the first time, under the brand name GRAND. Within months of launch, it was installed on the President of India's car.

Over the decades that followed, under his leadership IJS Electronics grew to hold 29 registered design patents, achieve ISO 9001 certification, and supply India's most critical emergency fleets โ€” from the President's vehicle to police forces across every state.

A firm believer in fair dealing, Jaspal lives by his father's principle: "Word of a gentleman is as good as his bond, sometimes even better."

Built with
Purpose

"We build products as if someone's life depends on it โ€” because it does." โ€” Jaspal Singh Chhabra, Managing Director

"Every light bar, every siren, every speaker that leaves our factory goes into a vehicle that may one day be the difference between life and death."

That weight of responsibility has never left us. It is why we patent our designs, why we certify to ISO 9001:2015, why we have never compromised on quality in over four decades โ€” and why we never will.

"In 1988, Jaspal Singh Chhabra introduced the red-blue emergency light bar to India โ€” a concept that did not exist here before that moment. Within months it was on the President of India's car. The 29 patents that followed are a record of four decades of firsts."
