Belrise Buys H-One India

15 Apr 2025 CW Team

In a strategic move to bolster its manufacturing strength and market position, Belrise Industries has acquired H-One India, the local arm of Japanese auto component major H-One Co. The acquisition is expected to expand Belrise’s design and production capabilities, particularly in chassis systems and body-in-white parts, key components in the automotive sector. While the transaction value remains undisclosed, the development signals Belrise’s intent to strengthen its footing in India’s growing automotive market.

H-One India specializes in high-tensile steel components and tooling development for both two-wheelers and four-wheelers. These components are essential for enhancing vehicle safety, fuel efficiency, and overall performance by reducing weight without compromising structural integrity. The acquisition will give Belrise access to H-One India's advanced technology and its two manufacturing units in North India, improving both production capacity and logistics.

Moreover, the deal will help Belrise diversify its product offerings and expand its customer base, which includes prominent Indian and Japanese OEMs. The move comes ahead of Belrise’s Rs 21.50 billion IPO, approved by Sebi in March 2025. Advisory support for the transaction was provided by X-B4 Advisory and Desai & Diwanji.
