Once again, Steelbird earns the unwavering trust of riders in India and across the globe. After becoming the World’s No. 1 Helmet Producer in 2024 and 2025, Steelbird Hi-Tech India Ltd. is now firmly on track to complete a historic hat trick in 2026, with 9.3 million helmets sold this year. This achievement follows last year’s official recognition in New Delhi, January 2025, where Steelbird was declared the world’s leading helmet manufacturer, having sold a record-breaking 8.75 million units. Yet behind these impressive numbers lies a larger purpose — the opportunity to save countless lives on
the road.
Rajeev Kapur, Managing Director, Steelbird Hi-Tech India Ltd, said heart felt thank you for making Steelbird the World’s No. 1 Helmet Manufacturer once again. Our 9.3 million helmet sales this year reflect the trust you have placed in us.
India cannot afford to lose tens of thousands of lives every year due to two-wheeler accidents. Fake helmets must be eliminated. No authority would allow fake medicines or defective airbags—so why should fake helmets be permitted anywhere?
Our vision for 2030 is to grow from 9.3 million to 25 million helmets a year, ensuring
greater access to safer helmets for everyone. Together, let us say a BIG NO to FAKE
HELMETS and a BIG YES to SAFE RIDING.
Steelbird’s continuous investments in cutting-edge technologies, world-class manufacturing systems, and next-generation safety innovations ensure that every Steelbird helmet stands as a symbol of protection, trust, and style. The company’s planned expansion to produce 60,000 helmets per day reinforces its strong momentum toward achieving the remarkable three-year global leadership streak.
Steelbird’s dominance stems from an uncompromising commitment: every head wearing a Steelbird helmet must receive the highest level of protection at the time of a crash. To
uphold this mission, the company manufactures nearly every single component in-house
across its nine ISO 9000 certified plants in India.
Each plant leverages world-class technologies—robotic painting systems, precision moulding, automation lines, and rigorous multi-stage quality checks. State-of-the-art testing labs validate every batch for ISI, ECE 22.06, DOT, and other global standards.
Many may wonder how many components go into a helmet. The answer is staggering: over 3,700 individual components — including EPS, EPP, ABS shells, fiberglass shells, carbon-fiber shells, chinstraps, buckles, interiors, decals, visors, and countless small parts. The only item not produced in-house is the packaging box.
