Brunnthal/Munich, Germany, 24 November 2025 – SFC Energy AG (“SFC”, F3C:DE, ISIN: DE0007568578), a leading provider of fuel cells for stationary, portable and mobile hybrid power solutions, has signed a three-year maintenance contract worth EUR 3.2 million with its partner FC TecNrgy Pvt. Ltd. (“FCT”). The agreement covers maintenance and life-cycle support for tactical fuel cell systems used by the Indian Ministry of Defence.
The scope of the contracts includes SFC’s EMILY 3000 and JENNY 600S tactical fuel cell systems, which are already deployed within the Indian Armed Forces. The systems are based on SFC’s proven direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) technology, delivering reliable, efficient, and clean power in demanding defense and field operations.
Under the new agreement, FCT with the know-how support of SFC has set up two “Forward Fuel Cell Repair Workshops” in Leh (Ladakh) and Rangiah (Assam) for first level repairs with spare parts being provided by SFC. Additionally, more than 50 field service engineers of FCT provide local, on-site maintenance and training support across India. More complex repairs and lifecycle services will be handled at SFC India’s dedicated service centre in Gurgaon, enabling fast repair cycles and minimal downtime for mission-critical systems. This nationwide maintenance network ensures enhanced operational readiness and high performance, while offering a complete maintenance chain for the Indian Army’s portable fuel cell systems.
This collaboration not only reinforces the growing footprint of both FCT and SFC within the Indian Armed Forces but also supports India’s “Make in India” initiative through localised manufacturing and service capabilities. It further expands the Indo-German partnership in clean and sustainable energy technologies and contributes to recurring service revenues as part of a diversified growth portfolio strategy.
Dr. Peter Podesser, CEO of SFC Energy AG, said:
This contract underscores the trust the Indian Ministry of Defence places in our fuel cell technology and in our strategic partnership with FCT.
”By establishing a nationwide maintenance network, we are ensuring the long-term operational readiness of our systems as a solid basis for future procurement decisions.”
Colonel Karandeep Singh (Retd), CEO & MD, FC TecNrgy Pvt. Ltd, said:
This maintenance contract between SFC and FCT underscores our deep commitment to supporting our fuel cell customers across India.
”This contract and the fuel cells now being manufactured in India shall go a long way towards a much wider acceptance and proliferation of our fuel cells. It also strengthens our joint mission to deliver reliable, clean energy solutions for the Indian Armed Forces.”
