Daikin Industries, Ltd. announced the establishment of Daikin Chemical India Private Limited in Gurugram, Haryana, marking a significant step in expanding its chemical business operations in India. The newly formed entity will focus on sales, marketing, and technical support for fluorochemical products and is scheduled to begin operations in April 2026. Through this strategic move, Daikin aims to strengthen its presence in India’s rapidly growing chemicals and advanced materials market while enhancing its ability to serve local customers with specialized technical expertise and support.
Supporting India’s Growing High-Tech Industries
India’s push for industrial growth under the “Make in India” initiative is expected to accelerate demand for high-performance fluorinated materials. These materials play a critical role in several fast-growing sectors, including semiconductors, batteries, information and communication technologies, and air conditioning systems. As these industries continue to expand, companies require reliable supply chains and advanced materials to support manufacturing and innovation. Recognising this opportunity, Daikin has taken steps to strengthen its presence in the country through a dedicated chemical business entity.
Building Stronger Local Supply Chains
Establishing Daikin Chemical India will allow the company to develop closer relationships with local manufacturers, component suppliers, and industrial partners. Strong collaboration with these stakeholders will be essential for building an efficient local supply chain for fluorochemical materials. At the same time, the new subsidiary will provide enhanced technical assistance and application support, helping customers optimise the performance of fluorochemical materials in various industrial processes.
Expanding Technical Support and Market Engagement
With the launch of its new subsidiary, Daikin plans to deepen engagement with Indian customers and expand its technical service capabilities. By working closely with local industries, the company aims to better understand evolving market requirements and deliver tailored solutions for high-performance materials applications. Daikin will closely monitor local demand trends and evaluate opportunities for potential local production in the future. Alongside these efforts, the company intends to strengthen its marketing initiatives to further expand its footprint in the Indian chemicals market.
Strengthening Refrigerant Supply for Air Conditioning Business
In addition to supporting its chemical business, Daikin will also focus on establishing a stable refrigerant supply framework in India. This step will reinforce the company’s air conditioning business operations, ensuring consistent availability of refrigerants required for HVAC systems across the country. By integrating its chemical and air conditioning operations, Daikin aims to strengthen its overall business foundation in the Indian market.
Driving Innovation in Fluorochemical Materials
Daikin’s chemical business focuses on the development, manufacturing, and marketing of high-performance fluorochemical materials used across a wide range of industries. These advanced materials play a crucial role in enhancing product durability, efficiency, and environmental performance in modern industrial applications. As per the press release, through its expanded presence in India, Daikin aims not only to grow its global chemical business but also to contribute to India’s industrial development and sustainable economic growth.
