			==Early History and Products==
			[[File:ALLWYN Refrigerators.jpg\|thumb\|right\|240px\|Advertisement for Allwyn Refrigerators (The Hyderabad Allwyn Metal Works Limited)]]
			'''Hyderabad Allwyn Limited''' was established in January 1942 as Allwyn Metal Works. It was started as joint venture of Industrial Development Trust of the [[Nizam]]'s Hyderabad Government and M/s Allwyn & Company.<ref>{{cite book \|title= Journal of the Institute of Public Enterprise, Volume 15\|year= 1992\|publisher=Institute of Public Enterprise, Osmania University Campus\|location= Hyderabad}}</ref>

			Hyderabad Allwyn Metal Works Limited used to assemble [[Albion Motors\|Albion]] CX9 buses for [[Nizam's Guaranteed State Railway\|Hyderabad State Railways]],<ref>{{Cite web\|url=https://www.albioncx19project.org.uk/other_cx19s.htm\|title=New Page 1\|website=www.albioncx19project.org.uk}}</ref> and made the [[ballot]] boxes for the first general elections in 1952.<ref>{{cite web\|url=http://www.timescontent.com/tss/showcase/preview-buy/136493/Feature/Ballot-box-first-General-election-Parliament-election.html \|title=Ballot box, Feature Photo, A ballot box, made by Hyderaba \|publisher=Timescontent.com \|date=1951-08-20 \|access-date=2011-08-24}}</ref>
			In 1969 due to inability of its management to run the company efficiently, it was taken over by the state government.

			===Coach Building division===
			The first [[double-decker bus]]es in [[Hyderabad, India\|Hyderabad]] were introduced in April 1963. These buses were designed by Hyderabad Allwyn Limited with [[APSRTC]] .<ref>{{cite book \|title= Marketing of passenger transport services \|last= Yarlagadda\|first=Srinivasulu\|year= 2006\|publisher=APH Publishing Corporation \|location= New Delhi\|isbn= 81-7648-976-X\|page=40 }}</ref> Eventually the Coach building division became one of the largest coach building contractors for the Andhra Pradesh government's state operated [[APSRTC]] buses. Allwyn also built the Indian Army's medium-capacity [[Shaktiman truck]] bodies which were originally designed by MAN, Germany as the 415 L1 AR truck.

			===Refrigeration and Appliance division===
			The Allwyn refrigerators were one of the most popular brands in [[India]]. Its rivals were [[Godrej Group\|Godrej]], [[Kelvinator]] and [[Voltas]]. Even until 2005 the refrigerators were widely rated for their energy efficiency.<ref>{{cite web

			== Under Andhra Pradesh State Government ==

			===Tie-in with Nissan===
			In 1983 the automobile division entered into a tie-up with [[Nissan Motor Company]], [[Japan]] to manufacture the [[Nissan Cabstar]] range of Light commercial trucks. The plant was set up at [[Zahirabad]] near [[Hyderabad]] and this division was named as [[Hyderabad]] Allwyn Nissan Ltd with [[Nissan]] holding 15% of the equity.

			===Watch Division===
			Hyderabad Allwyn entered the watch business in 1981 in collaboration with [[Seiko]] of Japan to manufacture mechanical and [[Quartz]] watches. Until then the central Government-run [[HMT (India)\|HMT]] had been the market leader for wrist watches in India.<ref>{{cite web\|url=http://www.indiastudychannel.com/attachments/Projects/1764-121456-11-Watch.ppt#510,27,Indian Watch Industry – Evolution\|title= Wrist Watch.

			===Scooters===
			Andhra Pradesh Scooters Limited (APSL) had manufactured [[Scooter (motorcycle)\|scooters]] under the brand name Allwyn Pushpak and Piaggio scooters under the name Vespa PL170.

			==Closure and aftermath==

			However, by the mid-1990s the performance of the company was very weak and by 1993 all its reserves were washed off. Hyderabad Allwyn Limited had become sick company when its accumulated losses had exceeded Rs.180 crores (INR 1.8) as on 31 March 1993 and was referred to the Board for Industrial and Financial Reconstruction (BIFR) under the provisions of the Sick Industrial Companies (Special Provisions) Act, 1985. Hyderabad Allwyn become a company with negative net worth.<ref>Restructuring public enterprises in India privatisation and disinvestment By R. K. Mishra, B. Navin, New Delhi, 2002</ref> The BIFR in January 1993 declared Hyderabad Allwyn Ltd., as a sick industry and appointed [[IDBI]] as an operating agency to prepare a rehabilitation scheme. The Government of Andhra Pradesh agreed to amalgamate Hyderabad Allwyn Limited's Refrigeration and Appliances division with Voltas Limited, a [[Tata Group\|Tata]] group company which retained only 5000 Allwyn employees.<ref>{{cite web\|url=http://indiankanoon.org/doc/2674482/\|title= Voltas Limited - Allwyn Unit - Andhra Pradesh High Court\|publisher=indiankanoon.orgaccessdate=15 November 2013}}</ref>

			The company had three divisions: bus body building, watches, and refrigerators. The Watch Division of erstwhile Hyderabad Allwyn Limited was formed into a new company as Allwyn Watches Limited and the Auto and Bus Body division was formed into a new company called Allwyn Auto Ltd. Consequent to the scheme of Amalgamation as approved by the BIFR, M/s.Hyderabad Allwyn Limited ceased to be in existence.

			The refrigerators division which was privatised in 1994 and handed over to [[Voltas]] continued with the Allwyn range of models.<ref>{{cite web\|url=http://www.moneycontrol.com/stocks/company_info/company_history.php?sc_did=V \|title=Voltas > Company History > Diversified > Company History of Voltas - BSE: 500575, NSE: VOLTAS \|publisher=Moneycontrol.com \|access-date=2011-08-24}}</ref> In 2002, [[Voltas]] themselves sold their refrigerator division to the [[Sweden]] based [[Electrolux]], which phased out the Allwyn models.

			APSL, the scooter division is also presently liquidated.<ref>{{cite web \|url=http://www.indiainfoline.com/Markets/Company/Background/Company-Profile/Andhra-Pradesh-Scooters-Ltdliquidated/505021 \|title=Andhra Pradesh Scooters Ltd(liquidated) Background details about Company Profile \|publisher=Indiainfoline.com \|access-date=2011-08-24 \|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111005151717/http://www.indiainfoline.com/Markets/Company/Background/Company-Profile/Andhra-Pradesh-Scooters-Ltdliquidated/505021 \|archive-date=5 October 2011 \|url-status=dead\|df=dmy-all }}</ref> The watch division is now closed and is pending before [[BIFR]].

			===Sale of Allwyn Nissan===

			In 1989 Allwyn Nissan was privatised and sold to [[Mahindra Group\|Mahindra]], renaming the company as Mahindra Nissan Allwyn Ltd.<ref>{{cite news\| url=http://www.telegraphindia.com/1041127/asp/business/story_4055583.asp \| location=Calcutta, India \| work=The Telegraph \| first=Vivek \| last=Nair \| title=Rider set for Nissan entry \| date=27 November 2004}}</ref> In 1994 MNAL was merged with [[Mahindra & Mahindra]], and the [[Zahirabad]] unit is Mahindra & Mahindra's light commercial vehicles unit. The old Allwyn Nissan LCV is still sold by Mahindra as the Mahindra Loadking in various configurations like light tipper and [[Kerala]] remains one of its largest markets.
