EPC Industrie

What EPC Industrie does

EPC Industrie, founded in 1986 and headquartered in Nasik, India, manufactures and supplies micro irrigation systems for the agricultural sector. Operating commercially under the Mahindra Irrigation brand following a 2011 investment by Mahindra and Mahindra Ltd, the company is publicly traded on BSE under ticker 523754 and employs 251-500 people. Its product portfolio spans inline and online drip irrigation systems, drip components, sprinklers, QPC sprinkler fittings, rain guns, HDPE coils and pipes, automation systems, protected cultivation structures, DIY kits, and mulch sheets — making it a full-stack irrigation and agri-input OEM rather than a single-product supplier.

The company's core technology is micro irrigation hardware, including precision drip emitters, sprinkler nozzles, fittings, and increasingly irrigation automation systems. Distribution is direct-to-customer (enterprise sales) within a single-country/domestic India footprint, with no disclosed international operations. The go-to-market model bundles hardware sales with attached services — crop advisory, design service, project management services, and technical services — creating a consultative rather than transactional sales motion targeted at enterprise farming and agribusiness buyers. Customer acquisition is supported by a content-driven knowledge center on mahindrairrigation.com.

EPC Industrie is a subsidiary within the Mahindra Group, with Rajeev Goyal (CFO of Mahindra's Auto & Farm Sectors, which reports consolidated global revenue of ~Rs. 92,000 crore / ~$11bn) serving on the board as Non-Independent Director. The company's commercial identity and brand association with Mahindra is its primary commercial differentiator, alongside its comprehensive product range. Revenue mechanics are not publicly disclosed; pricing is contact-based, consistent with project-driven enterprise sales. The primary problems addressed are water scarcity, inefficient irrigation, and the need to optimize water use while increasing agricultural yield to support India's food demand.
