45,000 TPA. The Company commissioned advanced equipment,
including 16-ton closed-die forging hydraulic hammers, with
an 8,000-ton mechanical forging press and 25 ton closed die
forging hydraulic press under commissioning. The 46 acre
greenfield facility was advanced, featuring robotic handling,
anti-vibration systems, and Industry 4.0-enabled processes,

with a dedicated forging and machining line for defence
scheduled to commence in H1 FY26.

On the product and R&D front, BFIL enhanced its portfolio across
crankshafts, undercarriage parts, turbine blades, aerospace
and defence components. Its in-house R&D team of over 75
professionals focused on new alloys, rapid prototyping, and
high-precision machining. With product development cycles
averaging 3-5 months and product lifecycles spanning beyond
10 years, the Company has further strengthened its innovation
capabilities through advanced metallurgical labs, tool rooms,
and inspection systems.

The Company also diversified sectoral contributions, with
growing presence in defence, aerospace, and railways. Defence
remains a strategic priority, with approval to supply over
180 products. While legacy sectors like commercial vehicles
continued to expand, their contribution reduced as high-value
sectors gained share. Alongside, BFIL expanded its footprint to
over 80 countries, servicing 25 global OEMs, and benefitted
from global supply chain shifts under the China 1 and
Europe 1 trends.

Operational efficiency remained a key focus, with increased
emphasis on value-added fully machined components,
integration of 7-axis & 11-axis CNC machining and, automation
in forging. These initiatives improved scalability, cost efficiency,
and resilience across operations. On the ESG front, the
Company has committed to becoming carbon neutral by 2040,
transitioning fully to renewable energy by 2035, achieving
100% water recycling by 2027 and Zero Liquid Discharge by

Balu Forge Industries Ltd (BFIL) achieved significant operational milestones in FY24, reflecting its strategic focus on diversification and capacity expansion. The company reported a remarkable 44.24% increase in revenue, reaching ''38,808.26 lakhs, driven by sustained demand for specialized engineering products across new and existing sectors such as railways, defence, oil and gas and heavy commercial vehicles. This growth was further supported by BFIL''s successful addition of three new global OEMs to its client portfolio, despite rigorous audits and inspections.

FUTURE OUTLOOK

• Looking ahead, BFIL''s ongoing development of the Mercedes Benz unit, expected to be fully operational by Q2 FY25, will further increase the company''s production capacity from 18,000 TPA to 32,000 TPA. This capacity expansion is anticipated to drive additional revenue growth and enhance profit margins as the company continues to diversify its product offerings and market presence. Moreover, the company is strategically positioned to capitalize on opportunities in key growth industries across North America, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, further strengthening its foothold in the global market.

• One of the most significant developments for BFIL in FY24 was the acquisition of three new state-of-the-art forging lines. These lines, a combination of hammers and presses, are capable of producing 72,000 tonnes per annum of heavy forged products. The new equipment, including a 16-ton closed-die forging hammer is capable of producing forgings up to 800900 kgs, a 10-ton closed-die forging hammer, and an 8,000-ton capacity mechanical press, will be integrated into the company''s upcoming greenfield manufacturing campus in Belagavi, Karnataka. The integration of the forging lines with the recently acquired precision

machining unit from Mercedes Benz will allow BFIL to expand its product engineering capabilities and increase its offerings of precision products to global majors in critical engineering and safety components.

• This strategic acquisition not only enhances BFIL''s manufacturing capabilities but also strengthens its position as a comprehensive, one-stop solution provider for advanced machining solutions in critical industries such as mining, aerospace, and aluminium. This expansion enables BFIL to produce a wider range of products, including those made from different alloys, from aluminium to titanium, enhancing its research and development capabilities in alloy mixing and metal combinations. This setup will be fully automated with the latest technology, including an anti-vibration system and robotic handling compliant with Industry 4.0 standards.
