Danfoss India has announced the formation of Danfoss PowerNEU Pvt Ltd, a strategic joint venture with engineering firm PowerNEU, marking a significant expansion of its localised execution and solutions capabilities for India’s metals and heavy industries. The joint venture was formally inaugurated with a groundbreaking ceremony for a new manufacturing facility and office in Jamshedpur.
The new entity has been conceived as a long-term platform to support decarbonisation across India’s metals and heavy industry ecosystem. Situated in the country’s steel heartland, the Jamshedpur facility is strategically positioned to serve major steel and metals producers across Jharkhand, Odisha, Chhattisgarh and neighbouring industrial regions, strengthening Danfoss’s ability to deliver advanced technologies closer to end-users.
The facility is designed to enable solution development in close proximity to customer operations, supported by round-the-clock connectivity and rapid on-site response. This locally embedded model aims to improve execution speed, enhance collaboration, and deliver solutions aligned with real plant conditions, driving tangible gains in energy efficiency, productivity, and sustainability.
Once fully operational, the integrated setup will function as a one-stop solution centre, covering design, engineering, manufacturing, testing, and quality assurance for complex and process-intensive industrial applications, in line with Danfoss global standards. It will deliver offerings from across the Danfoss portfolio, including power drives, climate solutions, and power solutions, under a single roof.
The site will also house a dedicated Experience Centre focused on next-generation decarbonisation technologies spanning power electronics, climate control, and hydraulics. The centre is intended to support customer engagement through hands-on training, technology demonstrations, and capability development, reinforcing long-term value creation for customers and partners.
Commenting on the development, Ravichandran Purushothaman, President, Danfoss India, said, “India’s metals and heavy industries are at a pivotal stage where growth must align with sustainability. Danfoss PowerNEU reflects our long-term commitment to India by combining global decarbonisation expertise with strong local execution. The Jamshedpur facility reinforces the strategic importance of Eastern India as the country’s steel heartland.”
Highlighting the operational significance of the joint venture, Vijay Kumar Singh, Managing Director, Danfoss PowerNEU Systems Pvt Ltd, said, “Danfoss PowerNEU brings together the complementary strengths of both partners, combining Danfoss’s global experience, advanced drive technologies, and proven decarbonisation solutions with PowerNEU’s strong engineering capabilities, deep local insight, and execution excellence. This partnership is designed to significantly enhance customer experience and operational outcomes for steel producers across the region.”
With industries increasingly prioritising energy efficiency and emissions reduction, Danfoss PowerNEU is positioned to play a critical role in enabling scalable, plant-level decarbonisation solutions for India’s metals and heavy industrial sectors through a locally anchored, execution-focused model.
