The company is the largest pressure cooker manufacturer in India and exports its products to more than 40 countries.[6]

The company is traded on the Bombay Stock Exchange under the symbol HWKN. It has raised funds through "fixed deposits", a term for high-interest term deposits issued by industrial companies rather than banks.[7]

Hawkins has sold over 69 million pressure cookers worldwide. Today, it makes 65 different models of pressure cookers in eight different types. All Hawkins pressure cookers are listed by Underwriters Laboratories Inc., USA, a not-for-profit institution testing products for public safety. Hawkins pressure cookers feature an inside-fitting lid, which cannot be opened until the steam pressure inside the cooker falls to a safe level. Hawkins was listed as India's most trusted kitchen appliance brand by The Brand Trust Report 2015.[8]
