Depth bar: Visit dossier (~2,000–3,500 words). [~] for estimates. Watch Pvt Ltd vs Limited naming.

1. Company overview & snapshot

1.1 Legal identity & corporate structure

Public web presence uses HGI Automotives Pvt Ltd and, on company-profile/IPO-related pages, HGI Automotives Limited. Treat legal form as to confirm on MCA/GST before contracts. Registered/operating address consistently: Plot No. 19, Sector 58, Faridabad, Haryana 121001. Incorporated 1998 []. Promoters cited in IPO-style summaries: Suresh Chand Garg, Deepak Gupta, Kusum Gupta, and SSK Automotive Pvt Ltd []. GST historically associated in lead notes: 06AAACH7339C1ZV [] — re-verify. Self-described ~₹130 Cr enterprise with 300+ employees and two manufacturing units in Faridabad. Some EMIS/aggregator employee counts look inconsistently low — prefer company site scale claims as working, not audited.

1.2 What they make & where money comes from

High- and low-pressure aluminium and zinc die casting for automotive, agriculture, appliances, hardware and industrial OEMs/Tier-1s. Presses 90–900T, CNC machining, automated powder coating, assembly and inspection. End-to-end “design to dispatch” positioning. Money is custom die-cast programmes; electricity and coating energy are material controllable costs under OEM price pressure.

1.3 Plants, addresses & footprint

Both should be DHBVN if in Faridabad industrial sectors — still confirm separate vs shared HT accounts. Recommended pilot: one compliant unit at Sector 58 with clearer metering.

1.4 Leadership & CRM map

• Deepak Gupta — Director / Whole-time Director / growth & tech face; London MBA narrative on profiles — https://www.linkedin.com/in/deepak-gupta-830164141 — email deepak@hgiautomotives.com (inferred)
• Suresh Chand Garg — Managing Director / founder; long die-casting career; ultimate economic buyer
• Kusum Gupta — Director / promoter
• Plant/maintenance head — unnamed; LinkedIn hunt “HGI Automotives Faridabad”
• Generics: info@hgiautomotives.com; older alt hgiautomotives@yahoo.co.in

Decision path: Deepak digital entry → plant/electrical walk-through → Suresh for ₹ approval on 60-Day Proof Run.

1.5 Recent news (24 months) & timing for Stamped

IPO-related pages exist in search (Chittorgarh etc.) describing the company and promoters — treat listing status as unverified / possibly aspirational or historical filing, not a fact to assert in outreach. Website modern and product-forward. Timing: Faridabad visit week; peer: active Stamped deal at LNM Auto Sector 59 (light mention OK).

2. Energy profile

DISCOM / supply (name early): Sector 58 Faridabad → DHBVN. Confirm consumer numbers per unit.

2.1 Bill band, tariff & demand

Corrected estimate (Aug 2026 — kVA/meter-based): ₹5–12L/plant [~]; ₹10–20L two units [~] · Band B · confidence Medium · ₹30L+ gate: Unlikely · visit action: Band B Proof. Canonical: bill-estimates-corrected-aug2026.md.

Working band from prior kit/lead inference: ₹5–12 lakh/month [~] per plant; ₹10–20 lakh [~] across two units — Band B (kVA/meter-corrected Aug 2026). Two recent DHBVN bills required before any Band A Proof Run pricing. Ask: kWh, MD, CMD, PF, ToD, zinc vs aluminium cell split, coating oven electric vs fuel, Unit 1 vs Unit 2 accounts.

2.2 Generation, fuel & renewables

No public solar/OA/captive map found. Powder coating may have fuel-fired ovens — split early so Stamped does not over-promise electricity savings on thermal fuel.

2.3 EnMS, PAT, ISO, BRSR

IATF 16949:2016 claimed. No ISO 50001 / PAT / BRSR found. Energy likely owner + maintenance driven.

2.4 Likely ₹ leak categories (hypothesis)

Press startup MD overlap across 90–900T mix; hydraulic/cooling tails; coating oven idle/hold; compressor baseload; Unit 1 vs Unit 2 intensity gap with no shared view; PF on large motors. Hypotheses only.

3. Operations, equipment & digital stack

3.1 Process flow & critical loads

Die cast (Al/Zn, HPDC/LPDC) → CNC → powder coat → assemble/inspect → dispatch. Critical loads: presses, furnaces/holders if electric, CNC, coating line, compressors, cooling. Presses + coating often 60–70% of electricity [~] in this plant type — validate, don’t assert as measured.

3.2 Shifts, seasonality, production pattern

Discrete multi-shift [~]. Mix of press tonnages complicates MD — small and large presses starting together is a classic leak. Ask which tonnage family runs nights.

3.3 Automation, metering, SCADA/EMS/DCS

Modern website implies forward-looking ops; no named EMS. Path A: bills + meters + any press HMI exports read-only. Avoid PLC writes.

3.4 Capex / tech projects affecting energy

Two-unit footprint and coating automation are the known structure. Any IPO-related expansion language stays unverified until Deepak confirms.

4. Stamped Energy fit analysis

4.1 ICP scorecard

Vertical HPDC+coat: pass. Geography DHBVN: pass. Bill ≥ ₹30L: Fail / unlikely [~] — ₹5–12L/plant. Owner access via Deepak: pass. Scale vs Oswal/Mahavir: smaller. Fit 7/10.

4.2 Fit score rationale

7/10 for clear press/coating wedge and reachable next-gen, reduced for bill-gate risk and smaller absolute spend than top Faridabad HPDC names. Still strong visit-week geography (Sector 58 near LNM Sector 59).

4.3 Wedge (parser-critical)

The strongest wedge is: visit Plot 19 next week with Deepak, qualify one unit’s DHBVN bill, run a 60-Day Proof Run on press sequencing or coating-support idle load with actions verified with evidence, then compare Unit 1 vs Unit 2 — citing LNM only as a nearby Faridabad peer if helpful.

4.4 Objections & competitors

“We’re smaller than Oswal” → one unit, tight fee, fast proof. “Coating is gas” → pivot to presses/compressors/MD. “IPO/busy” → keep ask 20 minutes. Yahoo inbox legacy → prefer deepak@ / info@. Founder skepticism → bring Suresh in with rupee P&L, not tech jargon.

4.5 Pilot design

Site: one Sector 58 unit, clean HT boundary. Offer: 60-Day Proof Run. Success: named ₹ action + Stamped ledger verification. Kill: bill too small; coating fuel-only story with no electric lever; no plant owner. Then: second unit benchmark.

5. Before you reach out

5.1 Discovery checklist

• Confirm Deepak visit slot; ask if Suresh joins
• Pvt Ltd vs Limited legal name
• Two DHBVN bills (which unit?)
• Electric vs fuel coating
• Press tonnage mix on shared incomer?
• Plant/electrical head name
• Unit 2 address
• IPO status truth (do not assert)
• LNM peer OK?
• deepak@ deliverability
• Shift pattern
• Safety rules for stagger

5.2 Do not lead with

• Dashboard/AI/ESG-first
• “Next DISCOM bill” as hero — verified with evidence
• Guaranteed 15–20% pre-baseline
• Public IPO claims
• Oversharing LNM deal terms

5.3 Opening hooks

• “I’m in Faridabad next week — press-by-press ₹ across your two units, 60-Day Proof Run on one safe line.”
• “We’re already with LNM in Sector 59; Sector 58 is a short hop if you have 20 minutes.”

6. Risks, flags, controversies & sources

6.1 Integrity / controversy / regulatory (search explicitly)

“HGI Automotives controversy / lawsuit / NGT / fraud / labour / pollution” — no substantiated hits in reviewed public sources (Aug 2026). Pre-contract: MCA, GST, HSPCB as needed. IPO pages are informational noise until confirmed — not a scandal flag by themselves.

6.2 Data quality flags

• Pvt Ltd vs Limited naming
• Bill band ₹5–12L/plant [~] — Band B (kVA/meter-corrected Aug 2026)
• Employee counts inconsistent across databases
• Second unit address vague
• deepak@ inferred
• Coating fuel unknown

6.3 Sources consulted

• Visit context: Faridabad trip + LNM deal (internal)

6.4 Sector 58 visit mechanics

Plot 19 Sector 58 is geographically convenient to LNM Sector 59 — same afternoon is realistic if Deepak confirms. Open with Deepak on growth and tech willingness; bring Suresh in when the conversation turns to monthly rupees. Ask early whether the two units share one DHBVN connection or two. Shared incomers make Unit 1 vs Unit 2 benchmarking harder without feeders; separate accounts make the Proof Run cleaner. Confirm coating oven fuel before promising electricity savings on paint. For presses, ask whether 90T and 900T classes routinely start in the same 15–30 minute window that sets recorded MD.

If Deepak mentions IPO or fundraising materials, stay neutral: Stamped does not need listing status to run a 60-day proof, and claiming IPO facts from aggregator pages is a self-inflicted credibility hit.

6.5 Band-edge commercial honesty

At ₹5–12L/plant [~] HGI sits Band B. Prepare Band B Proof Run pricing; cluster ₹10–20L [~] across two units still below ₹30L gate unless bills surprise.

Zinc vs aluminium cells can differ in duty cycle and auxiliary load. If both run, ask which family dominated last month’s output before attributing the bill spike to “die casting” generically.

6.6 Research conclusion

HGI is a solid visit-week neighbour: reachable next-gen, clear press/coating wedge, DHBVN Faridabad, fit 7/10 until the bill gate is known. Pair geographically with LNM; commercially keep expectations matched to mid-market absolute spend.

6.7 Discovery script for Deepak / plant walk

1. Confirm legal name on the gate and on the bill (Pvt Ltd vs Limited).
2. Ask which unit you are standing in and whether the second unit shares the HT account.
3. List press tonnages that ran yesterday and whether coating ran the same shift.
4. Ask for last two DHBVN totals (₹ and MD) without needing full PDF on the spot — follow up WhatsApp.
5. Agree one candidate lever before leaving: press stagger, compressor off-shift, or coating-support idle.
6. Book the electrical owner for a 60-day ownership role; Deepak sponsors, plant executes.
7. If Suresh joins, switch to margin language: controllable electricity vs OEM price-downs, Proof Run kill criteria, no hardware.

Close the visit with a same-week WhatsApp recap of the agreed lever and the bill request. That recap is what separates a polite plant tour from a live 60-Day Proof Run. Early-deployment 15–20% [~] can sit in the recap as peer context; the hero line stays verified with evidence, not “wait for the next invoice.”

HGI’s self-described ₹130 Cr / 300+ employee profile [] puts them in the same owner-operator conversation style as LNM, with more press-tonnage spread. Do not over-rotate into enterprise procurement language. Deepak is the digital door; Suresh is the rupee door; the plant head is the data door. All three matter for a Proof Run that survives day 60. If only Deepak engages and bills never arrive, park the account rather than inventing a feeder story from the website press range alone.

Also confirm whether powder coating is in-house on both units or concentrated on one. A coating-heavy unit with light casting, or the reverse, changes which lever you propose first. Zinc programmes can look “small” in tonnage while still moving MD if large presses and coating support coincide. Write the agreed lever in Deepak’s WhatsApp thread the same day so the visit does not dissolve into a generic “interesting technology” memory.

Visit-week bottom line: Deepak opens Sector 58, confirm ₹5–12L/plant [~] on bills, Band B Proof Run on one unit.

If the coating line is fuel-dominant, keep the first Proof Run on press sequencing and compressor baseload so the electricity story stays honest. Re-check GSTIN 06AAACH7339C1ZV and MCA directors before any contract draft. Pair the Sector 58 stop with LNM Sector 59 on the same afternoon when calendars allow.

Target research depth for this visit dossier is met once the bill gate and coating fuel split are confirmed on site.
