Navin Fluorine Partners with DRDO to Produce Sodium Borohydride
Navin Fluorine International, a big Indian chemical company, is working with DRDO, a government research group, to make a special chemical called sodium borohydride.
This chemical is important for defense.
The project is part of India’s plan to make more things inside the country.
DRDO will give money and help with technology.
Navin Fluorine is proud of this partnership and it has helped its stock price go up.
The goal is to make the process faster and cheaper, so India can rely less on imports for this chemical.
Navin Fluorine International has signed a pact with DRDO to develop indigenous manufacturing technology for sodium borohydride, a critical defense chemical.
The project is part of India’s Make In India initiative and aims to accelerate indigenous process development.
DRDO will provide grant‑in‑aid and technological support under its Technology Development Fund scheme.
Navin Fluorine International, founded in 1967, is a leading fluorochemicals company serving pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, electronics, and more.
