Abid Husain Consultants

What Abid Husain Consultants does

Abid Husain Consultants (AHC) is a New Delhi-headquartered MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing) engineering consulting firm established in 1995 by Mr. Abid Husain, a mechanical engineer from Aligarh Muslim University. The firm provides complete MEP design, project management, engineering audits, building automation, BIM, and engineering simulation services for the built environment, with completed engagements spanning aviation terminals (Chandigarh, Kolkata, Vadodara, Dehradun, Mysore), metro/transit infrastructure (MMRDA Mumbai Metro Bhawan), government office complexes (Nauroji Nagar, 5.5 million sq ft), healthcare facilities (Max Hospital Dwarka, CAPFIMS), hotels (Lemon Tree, ITC Pokhara Nepal, Neemrana Fort Palace, Premier Inn), commercial real estate (DLF, Vatika, Bestech, Parsvnath, Express Trade Tower), educational and research institutions (IIT Ropar, IIIT Delhi, INST Mohali), and industrial manufacturing facilities (Hero Honda, Timex, Inergy). AHC has executed over 2,200 projects since inception, with selective international project management work in Nepal, Malaysia, and West/Central Africa.

The firm's core technical differentiator is deep HVAC engineering expertise built on proprietary innovations: Mr. Husain pioneered Variable Refrigerant Volume (VRV) air conditioning in India in 1998 — a technology that subsequently captured more than 30% Indian AC market share across 12 brands — and the firm claims India's first solar-energy-operated chilled water plant, a proprietary low-humidity dehumidifier with refrigeration cycle, and a 3-stage hybrid cooling system for comfort cooling. The service stack incorporates BIM-enabled design coordination and a suite of engineering simulations including energy modelling, CFD analysis, air quality simulations, and agent-based evacuation simulations. The Emerson Cup (2008) recognized AHC's VRV design as the most innovative in South Asia Pacific.

AHC operates a project-based professional services revenue model with no publicly disclosed pricing; fees are quote-based and vary by project scope and complexity. The firm engages enterprise and government clients through direct project sales, referrals, and its website portfolio, with no resellers or channel intermediaries. It is entirely founder-owned, has not raised external capital, and remains a privately held boutique consultancy with a single New Delhi headquarters and a headcount of 11–50 employees. Geographic scope is concentrated in India with limited cross-border engagements in Nepal, Malaysia, and selected African countries.
