Getting ready for the aspired heyday is NPL, with the expansion and consolidation of product portfolio in the CV and CE segments. The company is one of the largest producers of diesel engine oils, transmission oils, hydraulic oils, coolants, AdBlue and other lubricants in the country, along a wide range of lubricant solutions to passenger cars, motorcycles and other industrial applications. It claims that more than half of the total demand comes from commercial vehicle applications, followed by bikes and scooters, agricultural and CE applications and passenger cars.

AdBlue (DEF) market in India: Urgent need for product standardization and quality regulation

NPL BlueSky Automotive, a joint venture between NPL and KRUSE Automotive GmbH of Germany, pioneered the local manufacturing of diesel exhaust fluid meeting the ISO 22241 standards in the country, and is the largest producer in terms of volumes as well. The product is supplied to almost all major OEMs in the country, and has great reach in retail market as well. Recently, the company has tied up with PSU oil marketing companies to make the VELVEX AdBlue available in their retail fuel outlets. NPL also has plans to set up more AdBlue processing plants in the country to meet the emerging demand.

Bad quality and sub-standard DEF hurts the SCR system in vehicles, while also defeating the very purpose of its usage – the emission reduction. "Premature SCR failures covered under vehicle warranty impacted OEMs significantly in the first year of BS-IV implementation, but now the operators are facing the heat due to contaminated DEF", notes Mr. Agrawaal, while adding that the price difference between inferior products and genuine AdBlue is negligible while considering the repair costs of SCR Catalytic Converter.
