Behari Lal Engineering (BLEL) is an integrated iron and steel manufacturing company specialising in customised engineering solutions for critical industrial applications.

As per RHP, BLEL is one of India's largest metal rolls producers and a leading player in the metal rolls segment, meeting 10 to 11.5% of India's demand in FY26.
The company operates across four key product segments. Metal Rolls include alloy cast steel rolls, alloy steel base adamite rolls, graphitic steel rolls and S.G.

Alloy steel products comprise carbon steel, alloy steel and stainless steel bars in sections ranging from 6 to 230 millimeters, along with tool steel and valve steel. Forged Ingots and forged shafts/blocks are semi-finished steel products, used as raw materials for forging applications in industries viz. automotive, aerospace, oil & gas and energy.

India is the world’s second largest steel producer and is also benefiting from the China+1 strategy as global manufacturers seek to diversify their supply chains. The alloy steel segment is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5-7% for alloy long steel and 8-10% for alloy flat steel till FY31, driven by infrastructure development, increasing vehicle production and government initiatives.
The National Steel Policy aims at a steel production of 30 crore tonnes by 2030. The export promotion schemes of the government also offer further support to the industry with an outlay of ₹200 crore annually. The industry has high entry barriers due to stringent OEM qualification requirements and long-standing customer relationships, favouring established players that supply 10.00-11.5% of India’s metal rolls demand. Mandi Gobindgarh in Punjab offers an additional advantage due to its proximity to major highways, dry ports and airports, supporting efficient logistics and raw material sourcing.
BLEL is expanding its manufacturing capacity through the upcoming facility at Mandi Gobindgarh, which is being developed across approximately 2.07 acres. The company plans to upgrade its melting and machining capacity to improve its product mix and increase the share of high-value rolls and castings. It also proposes to install a 1600T hydraulic open die forging press, which will establish an annual forged products production capacity of 15,000 MT. The company continued to increase its focus on high-value products, including engineering castings, metal rolls and speciality alloy steel grades such as valve steel, die steel and tool steel. Revenue from these products increased to 57.78% of revenue in FY26 from 45.45% in FY25.
