What Hindustan Electric Motor does

Hindustan Electric Motor (legal name: Hindustan Motor Manufacturing Company) is a privately held Indian industrial electric motor manufacturer founded in 1973 in Mumbai by Late Mr. Pravin Jadia and Late Mr. Kishor Desai, now run by second-generation family owners Sanjay Jadia and Siddharth Desai. The company designs, manufactures, and supplies a comprehensive portfolio of three-phase asynchronous TEFC squirrel-cage motors in cast iron construction spanning IE2 High Efficiency, IE3 Premium Efficiency, and IE4 Super Premium Efficiency classes, alongside specialized motors for crane duty, brake, cooling tower, textile, roller table, fire fighting, inverter duty, multi-speed, and flameproof (hazardous area) applications. Manufacturing is concentrated across two wholly-owned units — Paras Motor Mfg. Co. and HEM Industries — in Daman and Vapi, totaling 5 lakh square feet of production capacity and roughly 2,000+ motors per day, with in-house machine shop, copper testing, and acoustic testing facilities, and components sourced from named suppliers including SKF and FAG bearings and 100% CRNGO silicon stamping.

The company operates a horizontal, multi-vertical go-to-market serving over a dozen industrial end-markets (general engineering, material handling, HVAC, textile, oil & gas, steel, compressors, cement, pharmaceuticals, packaging, machine tools) through a combination of 60+ branch offices, 50+ authorized dealers, and 110+ service centers across India, plus international service centers in Sri Lanka, Kenya, Nepal, Bangladesh, and UAE. Revenue is generated through direct hardware sales to industrial OEMs and end users — including marquee Indian enterprises and PSUs such as L&T, NTPC, SAIL, BHEL, BPCL, HPCL, Tata Projects, Engineers India, thyssenkrupp Uhde, and Toyo Engineering — and through a 50+ dealer channel that supports just-in-time delivery of customized motors. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, and the company is ISO 9001:2015 certified with products conforming to IS: 12615, IEC: 60034-30-1, and IS/IEC 60079 (flameproof) standards.
