A composite battalion comprising Grenadier companies of Bombay Sepoys won the famous battle of Talegaon in 1778. By 1784, the group of Grenadier companies had been given the title of Bombay Grenadiers. The concept of 'Grenadiers' evolved from the practice of selecting the bravest and strongest men for the most dangerous tasks in combat. The Grenadiers have one of the longest unbroken record of existence in the Indian Army. The Grenadiers have the unique and distinct honour of having the most number of Param Vir Chakras, India's highest medal for gallantry, among all the Indian Army's Infantry Regiments.

The third recipient of this coveted medal was Grenadier Yogender Singh Yadav, 18th Grenadiers in 1999. Its Regimental Centre is Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh and its Regimental insignia is a brass grenade bearing the White Horse of Hanover and the insignia is worn on the uniform with a white hackle. Its motto and war cry is ‘Sarvada Shaktishali’ (Ever Powerful).
