Greenfuel Launches Ferrule-less Tube Line to Boost Make in India
Articles- Dec 27,25
Greenfuel Energy Solutions opens a new ferrule-less tube line in Manesar, enhancing local manufacturing, technology transfer, and alternate-fuel vehicle support.
Reinforcing India’s ‘Make in India’ and ‘Aatmanirbhar Bharat’ vision, Greenfuel Energy Solutions, part of Lumax Auto Technologies Limited (LATL), has inaugurated a state-of-the-art ferrule-less tube and fitting manufacturing line at its Manesar facility by the senior leadership team of Maruti Suzuki India.
Greenfuel has invested Rs 25 crore in the current phase of the project, with an additional investment of Rs 50 crore planned over the next four to five years. The newly commissioned line has the capacity to support approximately 100,000 vehicles, with commercial production ramping up in phases based on customer qualification and market demand. The investment directly contributes to domestic capability building, skilled job creation, and long-term industrial development, aligned with national manufacturing priorities.
Through the localisation of ferrule-less tubes and fittings for CNG vehicles, Greenfuel brings globally proven technology to India. The torque-tightened, mass-production-ready solution ensures consistent assembly torque, repeatable quality, and enhanced safety, while delivering cost efficiencies by eliminating import duties, freight costs, and foreign-exchange exposure.
Deepak Jain, Director, Lumax Auto Technologies Limited, said, “The localisation of this technology reflects our strong commitment to the ‘Make in India’ agenda. By bringing critical manufacturing capabilities onshore, we are accelerating technology transfer, strengthening domestic supply chains, and enhancing India’s competitiveness in advanced automotive manufacturing.”
The commissioning of this facility marks a significant milestone in the localisation of a critical automotive technology that was previously fully imported. It strengthens India’s domestic manufacturing capabilities for automotive and alternate-fuel platforms while reducing reliance on global supply chains.
Anmol Jain, Managing Director, Lumax Auto Technologies Limited, said, “This initiative lays the foundation for scalable and sustainable growth. It improves operational efficiencies, deepens collaboration with OEM partners, and enables faster validation cycles supporting the evolution of Indian manufacturing towards higher value-added capabilities.”
For OEMs and fleet operators, this Made-in-India capability translates into lower total cost of ownership, faster access to components, predictable pricing, and assured supply continuity as key enablers as the industry scales adoption of alternate-fuel solutions.
Akshay Kashyap, MD & CEO, Greenfuel Energy Solutions, said, “We are the first and only company in India to localise ferrule-less tubes and fittings along with the underlying manufacturing technology. This Make-in-India solution offers ease of installation, reduced labour costs, and enhanced safety for the automotive industry. We have already commenced supplies to a leading OEM and are witnessing strong interest from others.”
“This technology has been proven in Europe and used by an established German automotive brand for over seven years. We have successfully indigenised it in India in collaboration with our long-standing German partner, WEH Gas Tech, a relationship spanning nearly two decades. While the core line was sourced from Germany, it has been adapted and optimised for Indian operating conditions, combining global credibility with local engineering expertise,” he further added.
The new manufacturing line enhances Greenfuel’s ability to respond to OEM requirements with greater speed, consistency, and scalability. It also reflects Lumax Auto Technologies’ disciplined approach to expanding high-value manufacturing capabilities aligned with long-term industry demand.
In 2024, Lumax Auto Technologies Limited acquired a 60 per cent stake in Greenfuel Energy Solutions’ alternate fuels business for Rs 153.09 crore. The business reported revenues of Rs 170 crore in H1, supported by an order book of approximately Rs 200 crore, and is expected to deliver margin-accretive growth. The segment aligns with India’s broader focus on localisation and the adoption of alternate-fuel automotive platforms.
