Steelbird Hi‑Tech India has announced a Rs 50 crore capital expenditure project across its nine manufacturing plants this year, aimed at boosting production capacity, accelerating R&D, and modernising operations. The investment is a cornerstone of the company’s five‑year plan to launch 75 new helmet models, meeting surging demand for safer, certified headgear.
Holding a 35 percent share of India’s branded helmet market, Steelbird operates six plants in Baddi and three in Noida, supported by strategic offices in Delhi, Italy, and a digital hub in Panchkula. “Every helmet takes nearly two years to develop,” noted Managing Director Rajeev Kapur. “This expansion enables us to scale up with safer and smarter designs without compromise.”
OEM partnerships with Hero, Honda, Yamaha, and Royal Enfield underscore Steelbird’s industry leadership. Among its latest innovations is the SXE helmet, featuring advanced TPE impact‑absorption technology for enhanced protection.
With this capex drive, Steelbird aims to sell over one crore helmets in fiscal 2025–26, up from 87 lakh units last year. The project will upgrade tooling, expand assembly lines, and establish new testing facilities, positioning the company to respond swiftly to market trends and regulatory updates. By investing in state‑of‑the‑art infrastructure and product development, Steelbird Hi‑Tech India reinforces its commitment to rider safety and sustainable growth.
