New Delhi-headquartered Steelbird Hi-Tech India, a leading helmet manufacturer, has announced sales growth of 8.75 percent for FY2025, with record sales of 8.7 million helmets.

This translated to the company achieving INR 7.87 billion in revenue, up 10.07 percent YoY. Going forward, Steelbird aims to sell 10 million helmets in FY2026 and 15 million helmets annually with INR 13 billion revenue by FY2027.

The company has already undertaken aggressive expansion play marked by upgradation at its Baddi-based manufacturing units, where new robotic visor systems, automated paint shops and expanded assembly lines will increase daily production to 50,000 helmets per day.

The helmet maker is also setting up a new greenfield facility in Hosur, Tamil Nadu, expected to serve OEMs and aftermarket demand across South India.

Rajeev Kapur, Managing Director, Steelbird Hi-Tech India, said, “Every helmet we make is a step toward saving a life. The WHO estimates over 300,000 fatalities due to road accidents in India annually – a figure that’s likely underreported. It’s not just about meeting sales goals; it’s about addressing a serious national concern. At Steelbird, we’ve made it our mission to bridge that gap by making high-quality, stylish, and affordable helmets accessible to every rider.”

At present, Steelbird operates over 200 exclusive Rider Shops across India and plans to scale up to 1,000 outlets in the coming years.
