Chimbals Design & Construction

According to the elders, the progenitor of the Chimbal clan, Aror Singh was a Rajput courtier in the Maharaja’s Court. He embraced Islam, because of which he was expelled from the State of Jammu. He tried to settle at different places and finally came to Nizamabad, a small village near Wazirabad where the atmosphere was more conducive.

As his family grew bigger, he named the clan as Chimbals (also spelled as Chimbles). Nizamabad was a village of artisans, likely gathered from across India during Mughal times when a fort with hundred doors was planned near Wazirabad, now known as Sodra.

Most Chimbal family members have been contractors, government servants, or in the Armed Forces, mostly officers. The family has the honour of having first lady Major General in Pakistan Army, Shahida Khan.

The legacy of artisans continues and is now led by Brigadier Muhammad Mumtaz Khalid (Retired), a veteran and decorated engineer, heading Chimbals Group of Companies.
