Bemco Hydraulics

What Bemco Hydraulics does

Bemco Hydraulics Limited is an Indian manufacturer of industrial hydraulic presses and portable railway re-railing equipment, headquartered at Udyambag, Belgaum, Karnataka. The company's origins trace to an engineering craftsman's shop in the late 1930s, and in 1950 it produced India's first indigenously manufactured hydraulic press in collaboration with Vogel of Germany and Towler Brothers of the UK. It was formally incorporated in 1957 (CIN: L51101KA1957PLC001283) and is listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange (scrip code 522650, ticker BEMHY), with the Mohta family holding key leadership positions and Aniruddh Mohta serving as Managing Director and CEO.

The company's product portfolio is organized around two core lines. The first is industrial hydraulic presses ranging from 200 to 4,000 tons capacity, including C-frame/throat-type presses, straightening presses (with servo-controlled variants via Galdabini, Italy), sheet metal forming presses, moulding presses, baling presses, special purpose machines, and hydraulic wheel fitting presses compliant with EN 13260 and UIC 813. The second is a complete portable re-railing equipment ecosystem for railway emergency response, including single and double cylinder wheel presses, wheel skate trolleys for broad gauge, metro, and metre gauge, power units, control consoles, traversing units, roller carriages, lifting cylinders, re-railing bridges, and pulling/tilting equipment. Manufacturing is conducted in-house across Heavy Machine, Precision Machine, and Fabrication Shops, supported by CNC lathes, jig boring machines, and thermal stress relieving furnaces, with technology collaborations with S Dunkes GmbH (Germany) and Galdabini (Italy).

Bemco operates a B2B enterprise sales motion targeting Indian Railways, heavy manufacturing (metal working, plastics, rubber, electronics, electricals), and select government customers such as nuclear facilities. Distribution is through direct sales teams in three regional offices (New Delhi, Kolkata, Chennai) plus the Belgaum headquarters, with bespoke quotation-based pricing on custom-engineered equipment and multi-year contract cadence. Reported financials for FY25-26 show total revenue of ₹97.14 crore (down 2.98% YoY) and net profit of ₹14.87 crore (up 18.58% YoY), with Q3 FY25-26 quarterly sales of ₹25.43 crore (up 16.07% YoY) and an operating margin of 23.55%. The company has approximately 280 employees, two wholly-owned subsidiaries (PEGASYS Machines Private Limited and Bemco Fluidtechnik LLP), and ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 certifications.
