OVERVIEW
Our Company is engaged in the business of designing, developing and manufacturing of varieties of Alternate Fuel Systems including CNG, LNG, Hydrogen Fuel Kit systems to OEMS and others. We manufacture Alternate Fuel Systems for heavy duty vehicles, light duty vehicles and off- highway applications.
Our Company was incorporated in the year 2008 with an object to manufacture for alternate fuel systems in India. Subsequently, we have gained expertise in various products in the alternate fuel systems, especially in CNG and LNG fuel kits within automotive industry through our in-house expertise and technical assistance. We have also developed fire detection & alarm system with fire detection & suppression system.
We source our critical technologies from MNC companies with whom we have long term technology user agreement or manufacturing license. We have entered into technology agreements with companies for developing exclusive products customised to our requirements. We have got exclusive manufacturing rights in India for these products after their development.
With change in technologies, we are formed with an objective to inherit the Foreign Suppliers’ expertise and localise production in Gaseous Fuel Injection Technology systems, to be used to meet the upcoming Emission norms and further improvement in emissions and performance of vehicle.
We are engaged in designing, optimizing, manufacturing, assembling, testing and kit integration of alternate fuel systems/kits for heavy/light duty commercial vehicles and buses, power generation equipments and industrial equipments viz. forklifts etc. We aim to localize the components of Euro-VI CNG kits in India, which will help to reduce the cost of the total system.
Brief Details of Plant and Machinery
The brief details of machineries are:
- For Gaseous Injectors, state of art manufacturing facility is installed at our plant which includes clean room with semi- automatic and automatic assembly processes.
- For ECU manufacturing, semi-automated assembly line is installed in a dedicated static compliant area which includes a dedicated end of the line (EOL) machines based on national instrument hardware.
- For High Pressure Regulators, High Pressure filters, Fuel Rails dedicated assembly line are installed with leak detection and performance testing capability.
Brief Details Of Technology and Business Process
We have entered into long terms contracts with our OEM customers for new products and existing products. The long-term contracts with OEMs includes product specifications, tentative demand and tentative product pricing. OEMs engages us for developing new products for their new vehicle launches or modifications of their existing product portfolio and based on these agreements and discussions with the OEMs, we develop the required products. We have entered into Technology Assistance Agreement (TAA) or licensing for design & technical know-how support from Global technology companies, for manufacturing of our products viz. Injectors, Electronic controller Units (ECUs), High pressure filters, CNG Pressure Regulator, Filling Valves, Fire Detection and Automatic Fire Suppression Systems, etc. to also bring down the manufacturing cost of products and improve and increase our profit margins.
Manufacturing of products
The first step in our product development is finalization of technical features and drawings of the System with our customers. Then the second step is Advance Product Quality Planning (APQP), which is followed up for development of complete system or any new component/product in the existing system. We manufacture majority of our components / products in-house and few of the components are imported or sourced locally. We conduct an in-house testing of the products under various stress conditions before delivering it to the customers. Our entire production and assembly line are driven by actual customer demand. The process of manufacturing of our products starts only once an order is received from the customer, and the number of units produced are as per the customer schedule. Based on the Despatch schedules received from the Customers, (this is normally received at the beginning of each month), marketing department issues internal indents to Production Department which is based on their existing inventory and the Production Department carries out the manufacturing and kit integration activities post assembly and testing of the components and sub-assemblies.
In order to ensure that all the components manufactured by us meet all the quality parameters laid down by customers, we have a defined Quality Check process for all the materials received in our Plant (including raw material and finished goods) from our suppliers, and all the material undergoes Quality Inspection by the Quality Team. We have invested substantially in buying Quality inspection tools and training of our Quality Check Team to ensure that the Quality standards specified by our customers are met. Also wherever there is a requirement for statutory test as per automotive standard, we carry out the certification of the components at Government accredited labs like ICAT. We constantly analyze the alternate fuel market in India and upcoming government policies/ regulations which may impact our industry. Based on this analysis, we sometimes develop new products ahead of the demand order from our customers for a particular product/system. We develop the initial prototype of the new product and keep it ready for testing at the customer’s end. We believe in keeping abreast of technology trends and upgrade our technology/design accordingly to reduce our import dependence and improve our profit margins.

Fuel Rail
|
3 Wheelers, Cars, Buses & Trucks
|
CNG is transported from the pressure regulator to the injectors. Fuel rail acts a distributor channel of CNG injectors. It is equipped with integrated pressure and temperature sensors or standalone pressure sensor depends on application required. Our Company has variety of solutions for Fuel Rail Assembly right from extruded fuel rail to casted fuel rails depending on the packaging profiles on engine to accommodate different types of alternate fuels injector (top feed and Side feed injectors).
|
|
High Pressure Regulator
|
3 Wheelers, Buses, Trucks, Industrial & Off Highway
|
This is a device used to reduce the pressure of CNG from 200~220 Bar to operating injection pressure of 2~8 Bar based on type of injector used for the application. It is also equipped with high pressure solenoid and high pressure sensor.
