This paper describes our submission to the Indic MT 2025 shared task, where we trained machine translation systems for five low-resource language pairs: English–Manipuri, Manipuri–English, English–Bodo, English–Assamese, and Assamese–English. To address the challenge of out-of-vocabulary errors, we introduced a Named Entity Translation module that automatically identified named entities and either translated or transliterated them into the target language. The augmented corpus produced by this module was used to fine-tune a Transformer-based neural machine translation system. Our approach, termed HEMANT (Highly Efficient Machine-Assisted Natural Translation), demonstrated consistent improvements, particularly in reducing named entity errors and improving fluency for Assamese–English and Manipuri–English. Official shared task evaluation results show that the system achieved competitive performance across all five language pairs, underscoring the effectiveness of linguistically informed preprocessing for low-resource Indic MT.
