The Story of Tank Chhap

टैंक छाप — मज़बूती की पहचान

Tank Chhap is the BSC house's full rainwear brand for the long Indian monsoon — umbrellas, raincoat cloth, and ponchos under one rugged identity, made by a family that has been keeping India dry since 1949.

A heritage rainwear brand, built for the long monsoon

Tank Chhap was started by Shri Mangilal Ji Kesrimal Ji Lodha as part of a small umbrella workshop in Ratlam in 1949. Over three generations, the brand has grown into one of central India's most trusted names for umbrellas and raincoat cloth, and is today owned and run by Pinkesh Lodha — the founder's grandson — out of Indore and Mumbai.

Every Tank Chhap product is manufactured in-house at Preeti Umbrella Factory, the family-owned facility that supplies the full Tank Chhap rainwear range. That single-roof manufacturing model is the reason Tank Chhap can hold the line on quality, pricing, and consistency at scale — whether you need a small assorted lot or a season's worth of stock.
