- HEG Limited manufactures and sells graphite electrodes and related carbon products primarily for electric arc furnaces in steel production; it also operates captive power generation facilities. The company, founded in 1972 and headquartered in Mandideep near Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, India, belongs to the LNJ Bhilwara Group and runs the world's largest single-site integrated graphite electrode plant. Its core offerings include ultra-high power (UHP), high power (HP), and super-high power (SHP) graphite electrodes in various diameters and lengths; graphite electrodes and nipples; blocks and rounds; graphite and carbon specialties; mini-rods; flux and heat exchanger tubes; custom machined components; and activated carbon fabric products, with over 70% of production exported to more than 30 countries including North America and Europe.
HEG generates power through thermal plants and a 76.5 megawatt hydroelectric facility to support its manufacturing operations. In recent developments, the company acquired an 8.23% stake in GrafTech International for Rs 248.62 crore in October 2024 to bolster its global graphite electrode position; it approved a demerger of its graphite business into a separate entity, with listing targeted for late 2025 following SEBI approval as of May 2025, enabling a strategic shift toward green energy including hydro, wind, and advanced carbon solutions; and its board greenlit a Rs 6.33 billion investment in TACC debentures in November 2025 alongside a stake sale in Texnere India. These moves come amid operational improvements, with Q4 FY25 showing strong EBITDA margins despite a reported net loss from mark-to-market effects on its GrafTech holding.
