What Elegar Kerpen does

Elegar Kerpen Kabel India Pvt. Ltd (formerly LEONI Cable Solutions India) is a specialty industrial wire and cable manufacturer headquartered in Bengaluru with a 300,000 sq ft production facility in Chakan, Pune, and a workforce of 101-250 employees. The company designs and produces power, control, instrumentation, fire-survival, solar, wind, marine, fiber-optic, VFD, PROFIBUS, Foundation Fieldbus, ALNYC multilayer-sheath, and railway harness cables, supported by India's first E-beam line with hybrid crossfire technology that enhances mechanical strength, temperature range, and reliability. Products are engineered for harsh-environment applications in oil & gas, refineries, Indian Railways, renewable energy, defense, and process industries, with compliance to IEC, IS, BS, EN, and UL standards and a dense stack of certifications (ISO 9001/14001/45001, BIS, TUV, VDE, EAC, AERB, EDTS).

The business is B2B enterprise, selling on a project-specific, quote-based pricing model with multi-year contracts. Distribution runs through direct enterprise field sales with regional coverage across Domestic (Hemchandra Gore), Middle East, Africa, Europe, and Latin America (Prashant Verma), and East Asia (Hai Lim Foo), supplemented by participation in major industry events (ADIPEC, InnoTrans, India Energy Week, IREE). The customer base of 500+ spans oil & gas majors and EPCs (Shell, Qatar Petroleum, Saipem, McDermott, Toyo Engineering, Maire Tecnimont), engineering and automation leaders (Siemens, Emerson, L&T Power), power generation (NTPC), pharmaceuticals (Pfizer), and industrial OEMs (Hitachi, Ruhrpumpen), with exports to 40+ countries.

The company was founded in 2006 as part of the German LEONI Group, acquired in November 2023 by HBL Ravicab Cables, and rebranded as Elegar Kerpen, with management projecting a threefold scale-up under the new Indian ownership. The combined 200,000 km annual production capacity, 30,000+ SKU portfolio, and certification footprint position the company as a leading domestic alternative for high-specification industrial cables historically supplied by multinational incumbents.
