1. Company overview & snapshot

  • HGI Automotives is a Faridabad manufacturer of aluminum and zinc die-casting components serving automotive, agriculture, appliance, and industrial customers.
  • The company publicly positions itself as a modern, quality-led operator with IATF 16949:2016 certification, two Faridabad manufacturing units, and end-to-end capability from design through machining, coating, assembly, and inspection.
  • Its most important operating fact for Stamped is process depth: 90T-900T die-casting presses, CNC machining, automated powder-coating lines, and supporting inspection / assembly infrastructure.
  • Leadership signals are stronger here than in many private mid-market accounts:
    • Deepak Gupta is publicly described as a modernizing next-generation leader,
    • Suresh Chand Garg remains the founder / senior economic authority in the outreach context,
    • June 2026 news reports the appointment of Manish Nigam as Executive Director and Chief Transformation Officer.
  • The June 2026 transformation hire is especially relevant because it suggests the company is consciously investing in operational excellence and technology adoption right now.
  • Public scale data varies, but the outreach estimate around ₹130 Cr and 300+ employees is directionally consistent with the process footprint and two-unit structure.

2. Energy profile

  • The Faridabad facilities should fall under DHBVN industrial billing. Verify whether both units share one HT structure or have separate sanctioned demand and billing points.
  • HGI is one of the strongest electricity-heavy prospects in the NCR set because its controllable loads likely include:
    • die-casting presses,
    • hydraulic power packs,
    • holding / furnace auxiliaries,
    • compressors,
    • chillers and cooling,
    • CNC machining,
    • automated powder-coating lines and curing support.
  • The working bill range of ₹15-35L/month+ is plausible, especially if both units are considered together.
  • One important nuance: die-casting economics may be split between fuel + electricity. If melting or holding is LPG/PNG heavy, Stamped still has a strong case through power demand, compressors, pumps, cooling, and coating - but the call must verify where the cost actually sits.
  • No public evidence surfaced of ISO 50001, captive power, or an explicit solar / open-access power program.
  • Likely pain points:
    • demand spikes when casting cells, cooling, and coating overlap,
    • weak visibility into which press family is driving peak demand,
    • poor unit-vs-unit benchmarking,
    • inability to prove that process changes reduced the next DHBVN bill.

3. Operations, equipment & digital stack

  • Public manufacturing disclosure is clear enough to support a specific energy hypothesis:
    • high- and low-pressure aluminum and zinc die casting,
    • press range from 90T to 900T,
    • CNC machining centers,
    • automated powder coating,
    • assembly and inspection zones.
  • This is likely a multi-shift operation where the highest-value Stamped signals will sit at the intersection of:
    • press loading,
    • support utilities,
    • cooling/chiller behavior,
    • oven and coating schedules,
    • unit-to-unit comparison.
  • The company narrative around modernization, growth, and transformation implies a plant environment with decent controller data and appetite for process instrumentation, even if a central EMS is not publicly disclosed.
  • The Chief Transformation Officer appointment is a clue that HGI may be open to operational technology and software if the business case is concrete.
  • No public AI / Industry 4.0 program was found, and the official site was unstable when fetched directly, so treat some process specifics as corroborated by search snippets and news rather than by a fully inspectable website.

4. Stamped Energy fit analysis

  • HGI is a strong Band A candidate because it combines die casting, thermal finishing, and two-unit complexity in one Faridabad account.
  • The cleanest entry angle is press-by-press and unit-by-unit cost attribution, especially where casting, cooling, and coating create avoidable peak demand.
  • Stamped proof points that should land:
    • read-only overlay on existing meters / controls,
    • no hardware retrofit,
    • identify which press or utility block moved the bill,
    • 90-day bill verification program with one unit first, then scale.
  • The likely sponsor path is:
    • Deepak Gupta for modernization and commercial curiosity,
    • plant / maintenance head for technical validation,
    • Suresh Chand Garg for final economic confidence if needed.
  • The transformation hire creates a secondary angle: Stamped is not just an energy tool, but an operational-excellence layer that produces hard rupee proof on an existing industrial system.
  • Main alternatives / competitors:
    • internal process-improvement efforts,
    • machine OEM dashboards,
    • generic ERP / MES modernization,
    • consultant-led efficiency projects that do not stay attached to the bill.

5. Before you reach out

  • Verify whether the biggest thermal loads are electrically heated or primarily fueled; shape the savings conversation accordingly.
  • Confirm if the two Faridabad units are separately billed and whether one unit is the cleaner pilot.
  • Ask which leader currently owns transformation priorities: Deepak Gupta, Manish Nigam, or a plant head.
  • Use the June 2026 transformation appointment as a hook only if the contact responds well to modernization language; otherwise keep it grounded in ₹/press and margin defense.
  • Verify whether powder coating sits on a distinct utility and meter boundary. That is often where “hidden” energy intensity becomes visible quickly.
  • Ask whether they already benchmark output or OEE by press family; if yes, Stamped can attach rupee-level energy attribution to an existing metric system.
  • Landmine: public titles are inconsistent across sources (Director, CFO, Whole-time Director). Confirm the current role before sending a personalized note.
  • Landmine: the official website was unstable during live fetches, so quote only facts that are repeated across multiple sources or explicitly flagged as company-asserted.
