The agreement was signed at BHEL’s Corporate Office in New Delhi by senior representatives of both organisations, in the presence of a delegation from the Royal Norwegian Embassy led by Arvinn Eikeland Gadgil, Chargé d’Affaires.

Building India’s Green Hydrogen Economy

India has set ambitious targets for the development of a domestic green hydrogen economy through its National Green Hydrogen Mission and the Government of India’s “Make in India” initiatives, driving the demand for hydrogen and electrolyser technologies, and building on the backbone of local manufacturing capabilities.

This partnership gives both companies a strategic platform to help lead that growth, pairing Hystar’s patented, high-efficiency PEM technology with BHEL’s deep manufacturing experience and reach across India’s energy sector.

“India will play a key role in the global transition to green hydrogen, and the collaboration with BHEL provides a clear path to deploy our unique technology in the Indian market. We look forward to a long-term collaboration while building local capabilities together with such a capable partner as BHEL,” said Fredrik Mowill, CEO, Hystar.
