The company is headquartered in Mumbai with a team of approximately 70 employees and serves customers through a multi-channel model: a regional distributor and dealer network for broad geographic reach, direct enterprise sales for large industrial and OEM accounts, and a consumer aftermarket channel offering automotive lubricant small packs through retail. The Lubritech division provides specialized industrial lubricants and technical services, including the FUCHS LUBRICANTS INSPECTOR tool for lubricant analysis and management. Customer-facing digital tools include the Oil Chooser, Product Finder, and Product Assistant, which help customers identify the right lubricant for specific vehicles or industrial applications.

As a wholly-owned subsidiary of FUCHS SE (headquartered in Mannheim, Germany), Fuchs India benefits from the parent's global R&D infrastructure, procurement scale, and pan-regional presence across 40+ countries. GTM is channel-led: pricing is not publicly disclosed, and customers are directed to distributors, dealers, or the company directly for quotes. Recent strategic signals include the construction of a new materials warehouse, a consumer small-pack launch, and sustainability positioning tied to the group's commitment to CO2-neutral operations globally.
