Steelbird Hi-Tech has announced its status as the world’s largest helmet producer, achieving an outstanding sales milestone of 77,99,273 helmets globally. In addition to its remarkable helmet sales, Steelbird has successfully sold 3,44,865 side boxes, contributing to a total of 81,44,138 units sold worldwide.
The group’s revenue has witnessed an impressive surge, reaching Rs 687 crores in the calendar year 2023. The company has produced a staggering 80 lakh helmets in the previous calendar year alone, and the ambitious goal for the current calendar year is to reach 10 million helmet productions.
Rajeev Kapur, Managing Director of Steelbird Hi-Tech, emphasised the company’s commitment to road safety. He shed light on the alarming statistics surrounding road fatalities in India, citing reports from the World Health Organization (WHO) stating that 300 thousand people die on Indian roads annually. However, Kapur expressed concern that the actual numbers could be much higher due to unreported accidents in regions without adequate traffic police.
“Many states and districts in our country lack proper traffic police, and numerous accidents go unreported. If we check the data with insurance companies, the numbers are much more staggering. Therefore, it is our duty to address this issue urgently, leaving no stone unturned,” stated Kapur.
He added, “We have been a pioneer in helmet manufacturing, producing everything in-house, including EPS, buckles, stickers, rivets, and more, except for packaging. This comprehensive approach ensures the highest standards of quality and safety in each product.” As the world’s largest helmet producer, Steelbird Helmet remains committed to its mission of promoting road safety and saving lives.
