JV targets energy-intensive metals and heavy industries
Danfoss India has announced a joint venture with PowerNeu to support decarbonisation efforts across India’s metals and heavy industrial sectors. The partnership aims to provide end-to-end solutions that help industrial customers reduce carbon emissions, improve energy efficiency and transition toward electrified processes. The move comes as India’s metals industry faces increasing regulatory, cost and sustainability pressures.
The joint venture will combine Danfoss’ global expertise in power electronics, variable frequency drives, power modules, and thermal management with PowerNeu’s capabilities in industrial decarbonisation strategy, system integration and project execution. Together, the companies plan to address emissions from some of the most energy-intensive industrial processes in the country.
Focus on electrification, digitalisation and energy optimisation
The JV will deliver solutions across electrification, energy efficiency, digital energy management and waste heat recovery, targeting sectors such as steel, aluminium and other metal manufacturing industries. These solutions are designed to reduce reliance on fossil fuels, optimise energy consumption and improve operational performance while supporting long-term sustainability goals.
With industrial emissions accounting for a significant share of India’s total carbon footprint, the metals industry represents a critical opportunity for large-scale decarbonisation. The partnership aims to enable customers to adopt advanced technologies without disrupting production, while delivering measurable reductions in energy use and emissions.
Strengthening India’s industrial decarbonisation ecosystem
The joint venture aligns with India’s broader push toward industrial electrification, energy transition and net-zero commitments. As global supply chains increasingly prioritise low-carbon manufacturing, Indian metal producers are under pressure to adopt cleaner technologies to remain competitive in export markets.
By offering integrated, scalable and commercially viable solutions, the Danfoss-PowerNeu JV seeks to accelerate adoption of decarbonisation technologies across the metals sector. The partnership also highlights the growing role of technology providers and system integrators in enabling India’s transition toward a more sustainable industrial economy.
