The certification places the company among a limited number of manufacturers worldwide whose lubricants meet Volvo's performance requirements for heavy-duty engines.
The Volvo VDS-3 approval confirms that the product meets international standards for extended oil drain intervals, reduced engine wear, and improved fuel efficiency in commercial vehicles. This certification strengthens the product's position in the global heavy-duty engine oil market.
NDTH Energy, established in 1970, previously became the first Indian lubricant manufacturer to secure Mercedes-Benz global certifications MB 229.51 and MB 229.52 for its fully synthetic EnerG G1 Xtreme PLUS 5W-30 engine oil. These approvals demonstrate the company's ability to meet demanding original equipment manufacturer specifications internationally.
"This achievement is a proud moment for NDTH Energy as an Indian-origin brand making its mark on the global stage," said Navkaran Singh Sethi, the company's founder.

The company has also partnered with German additive specialist GAT GmbH to launch the GAT X EnerG product line in India. This range includes fuel system cleaners, engine flushes, and car care products designed to support the Atmanirbhar Bharat initiative in the automobile sector.
NDTH Energy continues to invest in research and development, product innovation, and global collaborations to expand its presence in both domestic and international markets.
