India is fast emerging as a decisive growth engine for Danfoss, driven by rapid industrialisation, infrastructure expansion and a growing focus on energy efficiency. Betting big on its long-term commitment, the company is ramping up investments in local manufacturing, innovation and application development to deliver sustainable and market-relevant solutions.
A recent visit by the Danfoss Board of Directors to India further highlighted the country’s strategic importance, offering deeper insights into emerging growth segments and long-term opportunities across industries.
India Anchors Global Growth Strategy
Danfoss India president Ravichandran Purushothaman emphasised that India remains one of the company’s most critical growth markets, backed by strong macroeconomic fundamentals and an accelerated push towards sustainability and electrification. He noted that the company is focused on strengthening its local presence through investments in manufacturing capabilities, innovation, and talent, enabling it to deliver globally advanced yet locally tailored solutions.
Strong Double-Digit Growth Momentum
The India region reported robust double-digit growth in local currency in 2025, driven by strong traction with OEMs and increased investments in marine and infrastructure sectors. Data centre cooling also emerged as a key growth driver, reflecting rising demand for efficient and sustainable digital infrastructure.
Data Centre Business Scales Globally
Globally, Danfoss saw significant momentum in its data centre business in 2025, expanding partnerships with hyperscalers, co-location providers, and chip manufacturers. Data centre solutions accounted for nearly 7% of total global sales, almost doubling year-on-year. The company continues to focus on innovative air- and liquid-cooled technologies as a major growth opportunity across its business segments.
Digital Transformation And AI Integration
Danfoss is also leveraging its investments in digital infrastructure, clean data, and automation to enhance operational efficiency. With nearly 75% of customer orders now processed digitally, the company is increasingly deploying AI to improve speed, accuracy, and overall customer experience, unlocking further productivity gains.
Strong Global Outlook Backed by Financial Strength
Danfoss president and CEO Kim Fausing highlighted the company’s strong financial position, supported by a robust balance sheet and record-high cash flow, which enables continued investments in organic growth and strategic acquisitions. He added that global megatrends such as decarbonisation, electrification, and digitalisation continue to create significant opportunities, positioning Danfoss strongly for the future.
