Introduction

Driven by the philosophy of ‘Making a Difference’ to the lives of our consumers, Havells is strengthened by its large inhouse manufacturing, focussed R&D efforts, digitisation and a deep pool of human talent. The in-house manufacturing, comprising 15 factories, ensures full control over quality, design and supply chain, alongside delivering all our products at scale. Our Centre for Research & Innovation (CRI), with its four R&D centres, spearheads customer-centric innovations.

During the FY 2023 - 2024, we invested in two greenfield plants – Sri City for Lloyd and Tumkur for Cables.

Integrated Manufacturing Operations

Integrated manufacturing operations is the core strength of Havells. Investments in latest technologies, mass production processes, and robust operations facilitate production of reliable and high-quality products. Havells has long practised the philosophy of ‘Make in India’, manufacturing 90% of its products in-house. All manufacturing plants are unique, based on different technologies, but have fully integrated manufacturing setups.

Each plant is equipped with a high depth of in-house manufacturing, with all major components produced under the same roof. We have procured automatic hightech machines from Japan, Europe, and other leading manufacturers across the globe.

All manufacturing plants operate with high efficiency, reliability, and the creation of a workplace of excellence. We make regular investments, in upgrading and establishing cutting-edge manufacturing units. Our employees are also encouraged to bring new ideas for continuous improvement of operational parameters and creating a safe workplace.

With more than 20,000 SKUs across the plants, we believe that Operational Excellence at the factory is paramount, and hence a roadmap has been drawn for implementation and strengthening of various key initiatives. Global benchmarking of manufacturing plants have helped us in continuous upgradation of manufacturing set-up to take it to Industry 4.0 standards. Across the plants, section-by-section analysis is done for promoting digitisation and use of Internet of Things (IoT). 

We have undertaken several steps for enhancing operational efficiency, upgrading machines and processes and making them digitally connected. Our intent is to maximise the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI), Big Data, and Cloud Computing to raise the performance standards and drive the next chapter of Industry 4.0.
