The plant for manufacturing power Silicon diodes was imported from Westinghouse Brake & signal Co. Ltd. UK in the year 1966. Starting early 70's Hirect started Manufacture of equipments like battery chargers, High Voltage and High Current Rectifiers for Railway Applications were also started about the same time.
Supreme Powertronics Pvt. Ltd., Nashik which began operations as a sister concern around mid 80's was Amalgamated with HIRECT in 1995.
In the year 2001, new manufacturing facilities were created in Bhandup, Mumbai for manufacturing 25 KVA invertor to 180 KVA convertor for Indian Railways.
