BHEL, thyssenkrupp nucera India sign green hydrogen manufacturing pact

Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL) has signed a strategic agreement with thyssenkrupp nucera India Private Limited to enable phased indigenisation and local manufacturing of alkaline electrolyser systems for green hydrogen projects in India.

The partnership is aimed at supporting the phased localisation of alkaline electrolyser systems, a key component in green hydrogen production. BHEL said the collaboration will enhance its capabilities in executing green hydrogen projects as demand for domestic manufacturing and deployment of electrolyser technologies grows.

BHEL added that the agreement aligns with its efforts to expand into emerging clean energy sectors, including green hydrogen, while supporting the objectives of the National Green Hydrogen Mission and the Government of India’s Make in India initiative.

The agreement was signed by Mr. Y. Srinivas Rao, Executive Director (Heavy Power Equipment Plant), and Mr. Sutripto De, General Manager & Head (New & Renewable Energy Business), on behalf of BHEL, and by Mr. Kiran Joseph, Chief Executive Officer, and Mr. Manish Bhoslay, Director (BD & Sales), on behalf of thyssenkrupp nucera India Private Limited.
