Happy Forgings Limited (HFL), recently announced that its Board of Directors’ has approved a capital investment of up to Rs. 650 crores to establish advanced forging capabilities to serve the non-automotive industrial segment. This new facility as per an official release from the company will be the first of its kind in Asia and the second largest globally.

Happy Forgings is one of India’s largest engineering-led manufacturers of complex, safety-critical, heavy-forged, and high-precision machined components.
