Auto component maker Phinia explores making alternative fuel systems in India on rising CNG demand, says CTO

US-based automobile component maker Phinia, which currently has a fuel system manufacturing unit in Gurugram, is set to expand its operations in India as the demand for alternative fuels, particularly compressed natural gas, rises in the country, vice president and chief technology officer Todd Anderson said in an exclusive interview with Mint. Anderson said the company viewed India's rising CNG demand as a stepping stone towards adopting alternative fuels that reduce vehicular emissions, such as hydrogen, ethanol and methanol. So, we have CNG products and experience as our customers, the OEs, maybe use CNG as a step towards the alternative fuel of hydrogen, to the point where CNG can be supplied, maybe with a 15% hydrogen blend," said Anderson at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025. Anderson said the American manufacturer of fuel systems for large and small commercial vehicles is also exploring ways to supply Indian automakers with CNG with a 15% hydrogen blend.
