Grundfos India marked its 25th anniversary of operations in India with a commitment to transform the Indian pump manufacturing industry with new benchmarks in sustainability, urbanization, and digitalization solutions to solve water and climate challenges in the country. The company started its India operations in 1998 with an aim to make a positive difference in the country, and today India is one of its most important markets.
To commemorate the milestone, Grundfos hosted the Danish Royal delegation in India and organized events running in the ‘Water Track’ to enhance cooperation in the water sector between Denmark and Tamil Nadu. Grundfos India is committed to helping India reach its water and climate targets by 2030 and is actively participating in the Green Strategic Partnership between India and Denmark.
The company recently launched a new type of solar pump, specifically designed and produced for the Indian market, which is intended for household use and to give people easy access to water. Grundfos India is also strengthening its offerings around digitalization, advanced flood control solutions, and energy optimization in buildings.
Usha Subramaniam, Country President, Grundfos India, said, “With two factories in Chennai and Ahmedabad, we are in a unique position to live up to our promise to respect, protect, and advance the flow of water and to help India take the next step in furthering India’s green transition agenda.”
To commemorate the Tamil Nadu – Denmark Partnership for Sustainable growth, Grundfos India is hosting a dinner event attended by the Danish Royal delegation, including HRH The Crown Prince of Denmark, HRH The Crown Princess of Denmark, the Danish Minister for Climate, Danish Minister for Foreign Affairs, and HE The Danish Ambassador to India, and Thiru Thangam Thennarasu, Hon’ble Minister for Industry, Tamil Nadu.
During the event, Grundfos India is signing an MoU valued at INR 25,00,000 with Hand in Hand India, a Non-Governmental Organization to support a CSR project that will benefit 300 households and more than 1200 individuals in Thazhambedu village, Thirukalukundram District, Tamil Nadu. This project will improve water access by restoring traditional water harvesting structures. Additionally, household toilets will be built for impoverished families, and a Miyawaki forest will be cultivated to improve biodiversity.
