Not too long ago, HVAC systems were considered a luxury, but are now a necessity in commercial as well as private spaces. Temperature control is a crucial aspect in various industries where product outcome depends largely on climate control. Thus, the HVAC industry presents vast scope for growth. Moosa Haji Patrawala, based in Mumbai, established in 1948, is a pioneer in this industry, offering a wide range of HVAC, particularly Air Handling products for diverse applications. The history of the company goes all the way back to the history of the development and rise of the HVAC Industry in India itself.
Air Handling units are among the flagship products which the company provided to its clients. In addition to these, the company also offers cleanroom systems, usually employed in hospitals or other places where maintaining a pristine environment is crucial. The pharmaceutical manufacturing units, data centers, diagnostic centers, and more, need these equipments. Moosa Haji Patrawala offers customized units depending on client requirements. The organization does not only supply these systems but also plays a crucial role in educating the masses about HVAC systems. The company has also been developing specialized systems for mission-critical projects in the defense sector.
Additionally, MHP has also developed silencers and noise-free fans which are necessary for extremely critical operations in underwater applications.
“People are not fully aware of what HVAC systems are and how useful they are. A lot of people only think about air conditioning as cooling a room or place when an AC is installed. This is not the case. Air handling and regulation works in many ways which revolve around the concept of controlling temperature along with humidity, cleanliness, noise, and more, in a space as per your needs”, shares Salim Patrawala, Director. The team at MHP connects with clients to understand their needs in order to deliver the best products. To avoid any gaps in the requirement and what is delivered, the team conducts discussions with clients, emphasizing the need to explain the exact purpose or needs to achieve the best results.
Mapping the Path Ahead
The business started out in 1948, in partnership with leading AC brands like Voltas and Carrier. Beginning as a sheet contractor, the company quickly moved into a full-service HVAC systems manufacturer. “We were the ones who made the first room AC in India. It is still available at our workplace. We are also the first to make an Air Handling Unit (AHU) in India. This was during the time when India was starting its journey toward developed nation, and we took the lead and became the leading supplier for big brands like Bluestar, Voltas, Carrier, and more. We were then approached by military and navy units and we supplied products to them also, expanding our reach”, further adds Salim.

While defense remains one of the core sectors for this company, in the coming years, the firm plans on expanding into the medical and pharma sectors more strongly. Forming a dedicated team to focus solely on this industry, MHP plans on supplying all types of systems including blowers and filtration systems so that the dependency on imported products is lessened. The firm is gearing up to manufacture these products in-house. MHP also plans to expand its global reach a few years down the line but is currently only focusing on India. Being an industry veteran and pioneer, MHP aims to retain its top position through innovative and effective products.
