Our focus remains on establishing ourselves as a leading provider of systems and components in the evolving ‘alternate fuels’ segment, which will further support our sustainable and profitable growth journey.”
Anmol Jain, Managing Director of LATL, said “This partnership enables us to expand our product portfolio for key OEMs while increasing our per-vehicle content in the four-wheeler segment. Collaborating with Greenfuel, we aim to capitalize on the significant growth potential of this business by leveraging synergies in customer relationships, advanced technologies, and manufacturing excellence.”
Akshay Kashyap, MD and CEO of Greenfuel, said, “We are excited about this strategic partnership with LATL, combining their extensive market presence and strong customer relationships along with our expertise in alternate fuel systems. This collaboration is poised to deliver significant value for all stakeholders while fostering innovation in the automotive industry and advancing the transition to cleaner, more sustainable mobility solutions.”
This partnership with Greenfuel provides LATL the opportunity to broaden and diversify its portfolio of solutions for automotive OEMs in India. As strategic partners, the management teams of Lumax and Greenfuel will collaborate to harness their respective strengths, unlocking the full potential of the business. Together, they aim to establish Greenfuel as a leading industry player in systems and components for the ‘alternate fuels’ segment.
Greenfuel’s day-to-day business and operations will continue to be managed by Akshay Kashyap and the existing professional management team, which has successfully developed the platform over the years.
