Melco India

What Melco India does

Melco India Pvt. Ltd., incorporated in 1971 and headquartered in Faridabad, Haryana, designs, manufactures, and services ash handling systems, coal mill reject handling systems, and allied bulk material handling equipment for thermal power plants. The company's core offerings cover the full ash-management chain — bottom ash, coarse ash, fly ash, ash slurry disposal (including a proprietary High Concentration Slurry Disposal system achieving ~60% ash concentration), coal mill reject conveying (Dense Phase Pneumatic Conveying, pioneered by Melco for mill rejects up to 40–50 mm), and ash water recirculation systems. It also operates a Crushing & Mining Division producing wear-resistant crusher spares in proprietary manganese (12–22% Mn, 1.5–2.5% Cr) and high-chrome iron (up to 650 HB) alloys, supported by an in-house foundry, machine shop, fabrication, and heat treatment facility capable of castings from 40 kg to 3,000 kg.

Melco generates revenue from four streams: (i) one-time turnkey equipment and project contracts for ash handling systems, (ii) managed Operation & Maintenance services (currently covering over 9,500 MW of installed capacity for NTPC, State Electricity Boards, and private generators), (iii) ongoing equipment and spare parts sales (slurry pump parts, crusher wear parts), and (iv) renovation, retrofitting, and modernization services for installed systems. The go-to-market is direct enterprise sales to utilities, supplemented by an enquiry-driven website funnel and a network of 10 international channel partners distributing crusher parts globally. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed.

The company is privately held, family-controlled (founder V.K. Malik remains Chairman cum Managing Director), with no disclosed external equity capital, headcount, or revenue. Its customer base is concentrated in the Indian thermal-power sector with a secondary mining/quarrying segment, and it operates in a mature end-market undergoing a gradual renewable-energy transition — a structural factor that frames any growth assessment.
