Ducon Infratechnologies Limited (BSE: 534674, NSE: DUCON) made a significant impression at the recent GH2 Summit held at the Yashobhoomi Convention Center in Delhi. In partnership with DeltaVision GmbH, Ducon showcased its state-of-the-art fluid control systems designed for hydrogen mobility, storage, and safety applications. Supported by the Ministry of Heavy Industries and organized by the Sustainable Development Leaders Council (SLDC), Ducon’s involvement underscored its commitment to advancing India’s hydrogen transformation.
India’s leadership in green hydrogen was further emphasized last month by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who highlighted the nation’s goal to produce 5 million metric tons of green hydrogen annually by 2030 as part of the National Green Hydrogen Mission, launched in 2023. As a part of this initiative, India has already issued tenders for 450,000 tons of green hydrogen and 739,000 tons of green ammonia, with pilot projects currently in progress.
Despite the advancements in hydrogen production, significant challenges remain in developing infrastructure for hydrogen mobility and storage, particularly in critical sectors like transportation, shipping, and rocket propulsion systems. At the GH2 Summit, which attracted over 3,500 delegates, one of the key insights was the difficulty of transporting pure hydrogen due to its corrosive nature and potential for material embrittlement. This situation necessitates specialized components, such as valves and flow-regulating devices, which are currently not available in the Indian market at competitive prices.
In this landscape, Ducon’s advanced fluid control systems emerge as vital solutions for hydrogen applications. The company’s solenoid valves, check valves, and pressure regulators are specifically engineered to withstand high-pressure and corrosive conditions, facilitating the safe and efficient transportation of hydrogen for various applications. Ducon’s high-performance components are ideally positioned to support government initiatives, including hydrogen transport corridors and pilot projects for hydrogen-powered vehicles, ships, and rockets. Furthermore, the company’s capacity to provide advanced fluid control systems for both hydrogen and ammonia applications gives it a distinct competitive advantage in backing the National Green Hydrogen Mission.
