The Indian HDPE Piping Industry is anticipated to generate $233.5 million by 2026 growing at a CAGR of 5.6 percent from 2022-26. The HDPE pipes market is to witness substantial growth with continuous consumption in residential, commercial, agriculture, oil and gas industries. Since the introduction of the Central Government Water Supply scheme in India, the requirement for HDPE pipes and their components has increased exponentially. These pipes are manufactured through the extrusion technique across the world from graded raw materials such as PE 63, PE 80, and PE 100. And, owing to the ease of manufacturing, installation and good chemical resistance properties, HDPE pipes are used as ideal substitutions for CI pipes and GI pipes majorly due to the fact that they are premier mediums of conveyance and transportation.
In 1987, Hallmark Aquaequipment Pvt. Ltd. was established with the aim to manufacture specialised HDPE fittings for sprinkler irrigation systems. In the last three decades, the company has established itself as a leading manufacturer of portable sprinkler irrigation systems, HDPE pipes and fittings of various dimensions and pressure ratings. Hallmark is a platform where the company believes in change, and they are always ready to accept any new requirement of their customers to ensure top-notch quality consistently.
Today, agriculture, fishing, and chemical products industries are among the prominent end users of HDPE pipes. Rising government investment in improving sanitation coverage and growing awareness of safety and hygiene is also a major factor accounting to the further growth of the market.
To add to this, growing population rate, rising FDI in construction and development, high investment in improving gas distribution network and increasing number of housing units are some other key factors that have a positive impact on the market creating additional demand in the future. The oil & gas sector is another major industrial domain which provides a plethora of opportunities to companies operating in the HDPE pipes and fittings market landscape.
The HDPE pipes offer significant cost savings for projects in terms of quick installations, low breakage rates, and low lifecycle costs. The longevity of these pipes also implies that pipes function more efficiently, thus, reducing maintenance of pipes, and making them more affordable over time.
“We were the first to introduce a completely molded HDPE coupling system–focusing on strength, lightness in weight and cost-effectiveness. Our innovative designs enable efficient handling of water, up to 500 cubic metres per hour, in extremely challenging physical conditions, which gives our systems the leading
edge in places where previous metallic irrigation systems failed to perform”, says P. K. Ghosh, Managing Director, Hallmark Aquaequipment. In 1992, Hallmark Aquaequipment introduced a specially designed sprinkler irrigation system which overcame the various challenges like undulating terrain of the plantations, steep slopes and rocky landform.
Historically, Hallmark Aquaequipment Pvt. Ltd. remained focused on its fittings production for their own captive consumption in their various types of piping system. The company identified and analyzed the requirements of quality HDPE fittings in the market and for the last 20 years, they have been offering HDPE components to various prestigious projects. With deep market research and understanding the customer requirements, the company has set massive growth plans in the future to cater to the ever-increasing demand from the market.
Over the years, Hallmark Aquaequipment has diversified their inventory of manufactured products and started providing a host of services to their clients in the plantation and project sectors. The company’s sprinkler and drip irrigation systems are being used in various parts of India and they have also found immense acceptance in countries like Nepal, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Bhutan, Rwanda to name a few.
Key Drivers Of Business
The increased efforts of government and market players to encourage the use of sprinkler irrigation systems and expand the area under it are anticipated to augment the market. Achievement of high application efficiency, easy mechanization of the system, low labor cost associated and high potential of these systems to deliver soluble chemicals and fertilizers in the farms are projected to further bolster growth.
Speaking about the glorious journey of Hallmark Aquaequipment, P. K. Ghosh says, “Hallmark has been created out of my dream with a small infrastructure of plastic moulding since I always had passion towards innovations and ideas. Myself and my team invented the Portable Sprinkler System for coffee and tea plantation successfully in HDPE. We expanded from north east to south and central to north India catering our quality product. Our strength remained always our customer’s feedback, upon which we grew along the time. There was turbulence in the journey, not because of the market but because of the direction of myself and my partners which finally settled in 2008”.
Hallmark was professionalised in the year 2008 by forming its management team with proper delegation of power with the objective to operate independently on each and every department, following a clear-cut policy matter. Since then, only the employees within have been promoted for the purpose of expanding the management team and the company has thorough training programs on each and every level. Since then, the company is growing steadily and thoroughly and their primary strength remains to be optimal ‘customer’s satisfaction’. And to ensure this, Hallmark Aquaequipment has strict quality assurance planning related to its manufacturing process.

One Vision, One Firm
The team of engineers constantly analyze various parameters such as melt flow rate, density and carbon black content. Once the product is produced, the team conducts mechanical tests such as dispersion test, elongation at break, longitudinal reversion test, oxidation induction time test, and internal pressure creep rupture test. Constant upgrades, manpower training, investments towards software and various applications for data recording for optimising operations, machine and dies are major factors which have led Hallmark Aquaequipment to its market pioneer status. Apart from good quality products, they have on-schedule logistic support and a sizable manufacturing capacity which remains the basic requirement for any corporate contractor.
This has been made possible by a capable engineering team dedicated towards aligning the company’s objective of ‘Customer Satisfaction’ with the operations. Evolving with the changing times, Hallmark Aquaequipment has had the ambition to offer their products to all quality manufacturers/contractors globally. To ensure this, the company is continuously working on expanding their product range. To enable them to deliver a new product faster, Hallmark Aquaequipment has heavily invested in their tool room to make most of the dies in-house. The company is visualising the potential to grow many folds of the current turnover in the years to come.
