Ducon Infratechnologies Poised to Lead India's Carbon Capture Revolution

In a major development, Ducon Infratechnologies Limited is set to spearhead India's carbon capture industry after years of strategic R&D investment. The company’s focus on solvent-based carbon capture is receiving a significant boost, thanks to the newly announced Union Budget 2026-27, which earmarks ₹20,000 crore to promote Carbon Capture, Utilisation, and Storage (CCUS) technologies.

This landmark budget decision signifies a dramatic shift in India's energy policy, positioning CCUS as a core component of the nation's decarbonisation strategy. This fiscal support comes as India aims to integrate CCUS into industrial sectors where emission-reduction alternatives are scarce, validating Ducon's vision and early initiatives.

Ducon began its proactive R&D programme in September 2025, targeting proprietary solvent development and pilot-scale validation, which places the company at the forefront of India's CCUS landscape. Arun Govil, Chairman & Managing Director of Ducon, highlighted the strategic advantage of the company's foresight, emphasizing its potential role as a key partner in India's journey towards industrial decarbonisation.
