Hi-Elf pumps tied up with big Indian companies like Ralliwolf and NGEF to make special pumps and equipment for defence and agricultural applications. It started marketing its pumps all over India and was recognized amongst the top five pump brands in India. The partnership spilt up in 1987 and Mohan Balani became the sole owner of the company.

With growing competition and availability of very low cost pumps for agricultural applications, the sales of Hi-Eff pumps started declining. In July 1992, Mr. Balani, met with a serious car accident which turned him into a total paraplegic and he was confined to a life in the wheel-chair. However, with the support of his family, he returned to an active working life in 1993. He shut down Hi-Eff pumps and started a new venture to manufacture PMDC Motors. Rotomag was incorporated in August 1993.
