HD Fire’s 21 UL Listings Support 35.63% Export Revenue Mix

HD Fire Protect Limited reported that exports represented 35.63% of revenue from operations in the presentation’s FY27 geography table, supported by 21 UL Listings and 87 FM Approvals. The Rs 236.39 crore revenue figure used in that table is identified elsewhere in the presentation as H1 FY27 revenue, while HD Fire says recognised certifications are essential for regulated and export markets.

How many international product certifications does HD Fire hold?

HD Fire holds 21 UL Listings and 87 FM Approvals, according to its certification data as of March 31, 2026. The company describes these as the highest number of UL Listed and FM Approved product certifications among fire-protection-equipment-focused peers in India, citing a CRISIL peer comparison dated September 2024.

The approvals span sprinklers, alarm valves and accessories, deluge valves, quick-release valves, pre-action systems, foam equipment, monitors, water spray nozzles, system valves and gas suppression systems. HD Fire also says it is the only company in its stated comparison set with UL Solutions, FM Approvals, CE, VdS, ASME-U and Lloyd’s Register certifications across these product categories.

HD Fire’s certification history extends to 1996, when its predecessor received UL certification for a deluge valve. It received FM approval for firefighting monitors and monitor nozzles in 2005, indicating that the 21 UL Listings and 87 FM Approvals were accumulated over multiple product and testing cycles.

Why do HD Fire certifications matter for export markets?

HD Fire says internationally recognised certifications are essential for participation in regulated and export markets, with international product certifications requiring six to 24 months. The company separately states that certification evaluations can typically involve multiyear cycles, alongside regulatory requirements and end-user empanelment.

The company identifies long product-development and testing cycles, capital-intensive manufacturing and long-standing vendor relationships as further entry barriers in fire-protection equipment. Its portfolio serves oil and gas, chemical plants, refineries, power facilities, data centres, warehouses, airports and aerospace applications, where product specifications differ by use case.

Sprinklers, alarm valves and accessories are positioned for offices, malls, hospitals, hotels and warehouses, while deluge systems are directed at oil and gas, chemical, power and data-centre applications. Foam systems and monitors serve refineries, ports and airports, while gas suppression equipment is intended for data centres, server rooms, control rooms and electrical machinery spaces.

What share of HD Fire revenue comes from exports?

HD Fire reported an export share of 35.63% in its FY27 revenue-from-operations geography table, versus 34.69% in FY26, an increase of 0.94 percentage points. The table reports FY27 revenue from operations of Rs 236.39 crore, which matches the H1 FY27 revenue figure on the financial-highlights page; domestic revenue represented the remaining 64.37%.

FY26 revenue from operations was Rs 485.41 crore, compared with Rs 236.39 crore shown in the presentation’s FY27 geography table. The source labels the latter geography period as FY27, while its financial summary labels the same Rs 236.39 crore revenue figure as H1 FY27.

The Middle East was HD Fire’s largest overseas regional contributor in FY26 at 14.98% of revenue from operations. Rest of Asia contributed 9.92%, followed by South America at 2.61%, Africa at 2.48%, Europe at 2.31%, North America at 2.19% and Oceania at 0.20%.

HD Fire reported export sales in more than 90 countries as of March 31, 2026. The presentation identifies the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Brazil, Turkey, Malaysia and Indonesia as key destinations and cites supply to Saudi Aramco’s Ras Tanura Sea Island site and Oman’s Integrated Power and Water Plant Project.

How is HD Fire expanding its overseas distribution?

HD Fire operates through 22 global distributors and three dedicated stockists, and it has appointed distributors in Colombia, Argentina, Malaysia, South Africa, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. This channel network supports export sales in more than 90 countries, while the company also describes its marketing model as relationship-driven.

Saudi Arabia is a stated focus because the Middle East generated 14.98% of FY26 revenue from operations. HD Fire incorporated HD Fire Protect Company, its Saudi Arabian subsidiary, in 2026 and says it is engaging with localisation initiatives while appointing new distributors in the country.

HD Fire’s Jalgaon facility holds nine 9COM numbers for valve and sprinkler fire-protection systems. The company says these approval numbers allow an entity to receive requests for quotation for upcoming Saudi Aramco projects in approved product categories, and it cites prior deluge-valve supply to the Ras Tanura Sea Island site.

The overseas plan is paired with manufacturing expansion. HD Fire had two manufacturing facilities occupying 8.50 acres in FY26 and disclosed a combined 3.00-acre expansion, including a fire-test laboratory, industrial warehouse and research and development centre at Jalgaon; it is also establishing a National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration Laboratories-accredited testing and calibration laboratory.

Conclusion

HD Fire’s export share increased by 0.94 percentage points to 35.63% in the presentation’s FY27 geography table, while domestic sales remained the larger component at 64.37%. Its 21 UL Listings and 87 FM Approvals support a portfolio extending from warehouse sprinklers to deluge systems for oil and gas facilities and gas suppression systems for data centres.

The next disclosed developments to watch are execution of the 3.00-acre manufacturing expansion, establishment of the accredited testing and calibration laboratory, and the Saudi Arabia expansion following the 2026 subsidiary incorporation. HD Fire also identifies nine 9COM numbers as a mechanism for receiving requests for quotation on approved Saudi Aramco product categories.
