The company is now left with its last 200 machines - the majority of which are Arabic language models. Although typewriters became obsolete years ago in the west, they were still common in India - until recently. But with consumers switching to computers the demand for the machines started falling drastically in the last ten years. "We are not getting many orders now," The Daily Mail quoted the company's general manager, Milind Dukle, as telling India's Business Standard newspaper. "From the early 2000s onwards, computers started dominating. All the manufacturers of office typewriters stopped production, except us. "Till 2009, we used to produce 10,000 to 12,000 machines a year. But this might be the last chance for typewriter lovers. Now, our primary market is among the defence agencies, courts and government offices," he said. The firm began production in the 1950s.
