What EKKI Group does

EKKI Group is a privately-held, family-owned Indian pump and water technology manufacturer founded in 1981 and headquartered in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, with 501-1,000 employees. The company designs and manufactures a comprehensive portfolio of water pumps and water technology solutions — including borehole submersibles, submersible motors, open-well submersibles, centrifugal monoblocs, jet pumps, self-priming pumps, horizontal multistage pumps, pressure boosting systems, sewage submersibles, and integrated pumping systems — serving agriculture, buildings, industries, and public utility markets across more than 25 countries. Notable technical capabilities include water-cooled motors, H-class insulation, IP68 motor protection, corrosion-resistant materials, and the ability to pump from water levels as low as 1.5 feet (Hori-Max range); the sewage range supports solid handling from 28mm to 65mm.

The business model is hardware sales via direct enterprise sales, sales companies/branches across India, and dealer/distributor networks (with 75 dealers planned for the Ekki Homa sewage pump range), supplemented by component supply through the KOOT subsidiary. Revenue is generated through quote-based pricing to industrial and commercial customers, with exports accounting for 21% of revenue. Key partnerships include the international joint venture with Germany's HOMA Pumpenfabrik GmbH (since 2018/2019) which provides German engineering access and reach into 120+ countries, and academic partnerships via the EKKI-KPR International Water Technology Centre (EIWTC). Strategic milestones include the 2013 acquisition of Deccan Pumps, the 2018/2019 HOMA joint venture, the 2021 launch of the Linus sewage pump range, and 2026 launches of the Hori-Max range and exploration of a school education vertical. Reported net asset value exceeds $100 million, with expected revenue growth of 10-30% in the current financial year and 30,000-pump annual production capacity (expandable to 60,000) at the HOMA JV.
