India’s transition toward clean and sustainable energy received a strong push with Time Technoplast Ltd., Poppe + Potthoff GmbH of Germany, and New Delhi–based Imperial Auto Industries Ltd. forming a new strategic partnership. The three companies have come together to jointly develop and deploy end-to-end hydrogen system solutions across the country, marking an important milestone in the nation’s fast-growing hydrogen ecosystem.
The collaboration blends deep technical strengths from each partner. Time Technoplast adds its proven expertise in high-pressure Type-IV composite cylinders, manufactured under its “Made in India” platform, giving the alliance a strong foundation in advanced storage and transport technologies. Poppe + Potthoff brings German precision engineering and high-pressure testing capabilities, including its well-known TOPAQ® testing system designed specifically for hydrogen applications. Imperial Auto strengthens the partnership with its long-standing proficiency in producing critical fluid-conveyance assemblies for top automotive and industrial OEMs around the world.
Together, the three companies aim to build robust hydrogen infrastructure across the value chain in India. Their joint efforts will focus on improving storage, enhancing distribution networks, and supporting a wide range of end-use applications to make hydrogen a more accessible clean-energy option nationwide. This initiative is also expected to boost domestic innovation, open new opportunities for skilled employment, and further advance India’s long-term decarbonization objectives.
The partnership reflects a shared commitment to developing next-generation hydrogen technologies and reinforces India’s position as one of the most promising global markets for clean energy solutions. By combining their technological strengths and future-focused vision, Time Technoplast, Poppe + Potthoff, and Imperial Auto aim to accelerate the adoption of hydrogen as a key driver of India’s sustainable energy transition.
