The National Gramophone Record Manufacturing Company Ltd. Bombay' operated during 1935-1955 at Wadala in Bombay, India. The company produced hundreds of 78-rpm shellac discs and issued them on ‘Young India’ label records. The company produced over 10,000 titles on 78-rpm, 10 inch diameter shellac discs with two songs per disc. The recordings of film, popular, classical and folk music, as well as educational material were issued mainly from amateur or up-and-coming artists. They feature music from different regions of India, sung in many different languages. The recordings have never been reissued on audio tape or CD.
