Steelbird's October 2025 plan: exclusive stores from 400 to 1,000 in two years, with ₹250 crore plant

Steelbird Helmets managing director Rajeev Kapur says the industry needs over ₹6,000 crore to meet demand, which could reach 12 crore helmets a year if rules are enforced. The ₹250 crore plant will be in Himachal Pradesh.

What it means for the format

Steelbird is committing to a 1,000-store network and a ₹250 crore Himachal Pradesh plant against FY26 revenue of ₹868.95 crore and EBITDA of ₹134.92 crore, so the payoff depends on how well new stores and capacity ramp up.

Next on the rollout

  • Groundbreaking or commissioning news for the Himachal Pradesh plant
  • Quarterly revenue growth against FY26's ₹868.95 crore
  • EBITDA trend versus FY26's ₹134.92 crore as store costs build
  • Rival announcements of exclusive-store or capacity expansion

Likely next moves

  • Steelbird Helmets is likely to announce franchise-partner drives and city-wise launch clusters, since a jump from ~400 to 1,000 stores needs outside capital.
