Lumax Acquires Majority Stake in Greenfuel Energy Solutions

New Delhi, Sep 14 (PTI) Lumax Auto Technologies on Saturday said it has inked a pact to acquire a majority stake in Greenfuel Energy Solutions from its existing shareholders for an undisclosed amount.

The proposed acquisition will enable the company to enter into the green and alternate fuels segment which is expected to witness strong and accelerated growth in the coming years, Lumax Auto said in a statement.

Greenfuel is a supplier of high-pressure fuel delivery and storage systems primarily for CNG and hydrogen automobiles.

It also supplies fire and smoke alarm, detection and suppression systems for the automotive industry.

It is a supplier to key OEMs, including Maruti Suzuki, Tata Motors and Volvo Eicher Commercial Vehicles, among others.
