Innovation in Light-weighting and Electric Mobility
A major highlight of Belmaks’ showcase was its electric truck chassis, which significantly reduces vehicle weight by 40-50 kilograms, thereby enhancing vehicle efficiency and extending driving range. “As the cargo body and chassis are the heaviest components in a vehicle, our goal is to be a complete light-weighting partner to EV OEMs,” Bhatia stated. Belmaks has developed a boutique of innovative light-weighting solutions for both these aggregates. “We strive to be a 1-stop shop, providing complete solutions- from customised designs, in-house tooling & rapid prototyping to setting up high-capacity production lines next-door to our customers,” said Bhatia.
A Legacy of Excellence and Global Expansion
Founded 60 years ago, Belmaks has built a strong legacy in the commercial vehicle industry. “For six decades, we have been serving our customers, and we hope to continue doing so for the next sixty years and beyond,” said Bhatia. With a 2,000-strong workforce, the company is dedicated to customer satisfaction.
Belmaks has nine manufacturing plants in India, strategically located adjacent to OEM facilities, enabling seamless just-in-time (JIT) and just-in-sequence (JIS) delivery models. This proximity ensures faster response times and optimized supply chain efficiencies. Belmaks prides itself on maintaining world-class quality standards and robust systems, holding 5 different ISO certifications. Belmaks is also expanding globally, exporting to Asia, Europe, and North America, with South America set to be its next target market.
Expanding Beyond Components to Full Assembly Solutions
Beyond component manufacturing, Belmaks is transforming its business model to become an end-to-end aggregate supplier. The company manufactures complex stampings and fabrications, integrates proprietary parts, and delivers completely-assembled and ready-to-fit solutions directly to OEM production lines from its next-door ancillaries.
Sustainability at the Core of Belmaks’ Vision
Belmaks has set ambitious sustainability goals, aiming to become carbon neutral (Scope 1 & 2) by 2030, with Scope 3 emissions targeted by 2040. For its flagship plant in Indore and new plants in Alwar and Bangalore, the target for Scope 1 & 2 is as early as 2028 and the company is putting organised efforts and resources to achieve this.
To meet these objectives, Belmaks is investing in circular economy initiatives, recycling projects, and innovative energy solutions. “Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do, and we are going all out as a team to achieve our goals,” Bhatia emphasized.
With a robust product portfolio, cutting-edge manufacturing capabilities, and a clear commitment to sustainability, Belmaks is poised to lead the commercial vehicle industry into the future.
