Godrej Tooling, a prominent automotive tooling supplier based in Mumbai, is eyeing opportunities in the hydrogen fuel cell (HFC) technology sector, targeting a strategic shift towards emerging technologies. The company plans to utilize its expertise in stamping tools to contribute to HFC development, focusing on manufacturing fuel cell components. Additionally, Godrej Tooling aims to support electrolyzer manufacturers by providing essential workshop equipment from its existing portfolio. This move aligns with a broader trend in the Indian auto component industry, where companies are adapting to new technologies like electric vehicles (EVs) and hydrogen fuel cells. Hydrogen fuel cells are perceived as a promising solution for long-haul transportation due to their extended range capabilities, driving interest from industry players like Godrej Tooling. The company is actively seeking partnerships in the HFC space, acknowledging hydrogen's potential as a key player in the future automotive landscape. Despite the early stage of HFC technology, Godrej Tooling remains optimistic about its prospects and awaits further development of use cases in the sector. The Indian machine tool industry, already a significant global player, has shown remarkable growth, with a 32% increase in production and a 55% rise in consumption in 2022–23. This growth underscores the industry's adaptability and its ability to embrace innovative technologies. As India's machine tool sector continues to evolve, the integration of technologies like hydrogen fuel cells highlights a forward-looking approach to sustainability and clean energy in the automotive domain.
