Jaya Hind HPDC capex raises India die-casting machine heat
Jaya Hind Industries announced on 13 August 2026 a phased ₹600 crore investment through FY2027–28 to add more than 12 HPDC machines from 1,200 to 3,500 tonnes across Akurdi, Urse, and a new Chennai site.
What changed
Jaya Hind Industries announced on 13 August 2026 a phased ₹600 crore investment over FY2026–27 and FY2027–28 to expand high-pressure die-casting and gravity die-casting capacity, including a new Chennai plant and more than 12 new HPDC machines ranging from 1,200 to 3,500 tonnes across Akurdi, Urse, and Chennai.
The plan builds on an earlier ₹200 crore Chennai tranche and adds precision machining, heat treatment, impregnation, and powder-coating capacity—locking machine-tool and die-casting RFQs now rather than restating JHI’s legacy aluminium casting base.
Products affected
Primary map: high-pressure die-casting machines from 1,200 to 3,500 tonnes, robotic extraction cells and sprue systems, precision machining centres for cast aluminium parts, and heat-treatment and impregnation lines tied to the Chennai and Pune expansion.
Buyer segments to prioritize
Prioritize Jaya Hind Industries CapEx procurement at Akurdi and Urse and the new Chennai project engineering desk specifying HPDC and machining packages for automotive and electromobility castings.
Exporter action
Bid HPDC machine layouts, utility loads, and India automotive reference lists into JHI’s FY2027 equipment freeze; vendors without local service coverage for 3,500-tonne cells risk exclusion from the Chennai greenfield lot. Industry estimate: large HPDC presses still need 10–14 months from PO to SAT.
