1. Company overview & snapshot
This file covers GKN Driveline India Ltd — Faridabad Works only. The evidenced plant is Plot 270, Sector 24. Company FY25 revenue ₹1,091.75 Cr is not the Plot 270 bill.
1.1 Legal identity & corporate structure
Indian company of GKN Automotive. Confirm GSTIN and DHBVN consumer for Plot 270. MNC contracting will need local plant plus group procurement.
1.2 What they make & where money comes from
Automotive driveshafts and CV systems. Faridabad Works is machining, heat treatment and assembly.
1.2a Scale, MSME status & trade
| Field | Individual finding |
|---|---|
| Revenue / scale | ₹1,091.75 Cr FY25 company AR |
| MSME class | Not MSME |
| Employees | Company-wide; do not invent Faridabad headcount |
| Import intensity | High for a global driveline OEM [~] |
| Export share | Unknown at plant |
1.3 Plants, addresses & footprint
Plot 270, Sector 24 is registered office and Faridabad Works. Rajeev Dogra also covers Dharuhera — do not mix those meters.
1.4 Leadership & CRM map — three champion types
| Type | Individual contact |
|---|---|
| P&L / bill | Rajeev Dogra — Plant Director Faridabad and Dharuhera |
| Maintenance / E&I | Search unconfirmed |
| Production / line | Search unconfirmed |
Primary route: gdi.stakeholder@gknautomotive.com.
1.5 Recent news and timing
Use the plant bill and HT utilisation, not a group press release.
2. Energy profile
DISCOM / supply: DHBVN.
2.1 Bill band, tariff & demand
Working Faridabad Works estimate: ₹20–50L/month [~]. Band A candidate. Do not inherit other GKN plants.
2.2 Generation, fuel & renewables
Ask about DG, solar and whether HT is electric or gas.
2.3 EnMS, PAT, ISO, BRSR
Global GKN will have group sustainability language. Do not treat it as Faridabad ISO 50001.
2.4 Likely rupee leak categories
- HT hold and quench support.
- Machining idle and compressors.
- Shift-start MD.
3. Operations, equipment & digital stack
3.1 Process flow & critical loads
Machine → heat treat → assemble. Critical loads follow that sequence.
3.1a Machine inventory
| Class | Evidence |
|---|---|
| Core production equipment | Driveline machining [~] |
| Heat treatment / melt | In-house HT; fuel vs electric unconfirmed |
| CNC / VMC | Present; OEM counts not public |
| Press / weld | Not the primary public claim |
| Compressors / utilities | Confirm |
3.2 Shifts, seasonality and production pattern
Unknown. Normalise by shafts or machine hours.
3.3 Automation, metering, SCADA/EMS/DCS
MNC plants often have some historian. Still start with bills. No PLC writes.
3.4 Capex / tech projects affecting energy
Ask which cells were added in 24 months.
4. Stamped Energy fit analysis
4.1 ICP scorecard
| Gate | Result |
|---|---|
| Captive Sector 24 manufacturing | Pass — Plot 270 |
| Revenue target | Company ₹1,091 Cr; plant TBD |
| Monthly bill target | ₹20–50L/month [~] |
| Process relevance | Machine + HT |
| Named decision path | Rajeev Dogra |
4.2 Fit score rationale
8/10. Process and scale fit. Deduction: MNC cycle time and unverified Faridabad bill.
4.3 Wedge
The strongest wedge is: machining and heat-treatment coincidence on the Plot 270 consumer, scoped to one legal DHBVN consumer and verified against the plant’s own production context.
4.4 Objections & competitors
Group EMS or global energy team is the likely objection. Answer with a Faridabad-meter 60-Day Proof, verified with evidence.
4.5 Pilot design
Two bills → one HT or machine feeder → 60-Day Proof only if local ROI clears.
4.6 Concern scores
| Concern | Score | Owner |
|---|---|---|
| Energy / bill | 7 | Rajeev Dogra |
| Maintenance / utilities | 8 | Unnamed |
| Production / dispatch | 8 | Unnamed |
| Overall efficiency | 8 | Plant Director |
4.7 Pitch sketches
P&L: One Faridabad meter, not a GKN platform.
Maintenance: One HT or compressor action.
Production: No cycle-time hit.
5. Before you reach out
5.1 Discovery checklist
- Plot 270 GSTIN and consumer name.
- Two DHBVN bills.
- Dharuhera kept out of scope.
5.2 Do not lead with
- Do not lead with group ESG.
- Do not quote company revenue as the plant bill.
5.3 Opening hooks
“Before any proposal, can we verify two Faridabad Works bills and whether HT and machining still own the peak on Plot 270?”
6. Risks, flags & sources
6.1 Integrity / controversy / regulatory
No plant-specific controversy in the limited pass.
6.2 Data quality flags
