About

Incorporated in 1983, HBL Engineering is
an Indian research-driven manufacturing company that specializes in developing indigenous, cost-effective technology
solutions—such as specialized batteries
and railway safety systems—for critical
global industries. The company is now expanding its focus toward domestic
electric mobility solutions, including
high-efficiency motors and drivetrain
systems.^[1]

Key Points

Business Segments:^[1]
HBL has developed 3 business segments,
leveraging its engineering for technology
development.
a) Industrial Electronics Segment:^[2]
Three Business Units (FY26 ~49%
vs FY25 ~15%)
-Rail Signalling, Kavach, TMS/CTC:^[3]
Kavach contributed ~50% of sales in
FY 26, and this trend should continue
in FY27 and FY28, and potentially decline
from FY29.
- Electric Drive trains: (Motors & Batteries
vehicle electronics for Trucks +maritime)^[4]
Due to supply chain hurdles with permanent
magnets, HBL redesigned motors to be magnet
-less, creating a 9-month delay. Approval for 55
T trucks is now expected by March 2027, with a
pilot sales targeted for July 2027
Driven by government initiatives to clean up water
ways, HBL and Cochin Shipyard incorporated Green Maritime Propulsion Pvt Ltd in June 2026 to supply
marine-standard electric drive trains for ferries and
tugboats, initial sales expected through September
2027 while meeting marine certifications^[4]
- Other Industrial Electronics Products:
