BHEL and Norway's Hystar partner for PEM electrolyser manufacturing
There is a big company in India called BHEL that makes machines to produce electricity.
BHEL has now made a deal with a company from Norway called Hystar.
Together, they will build special machines called electrolysers.
Electrolysers use electricity to split water into hydrogen and oxygen.
The hydrogen made this way is called green hydrogen because it is clean energy.
These machines will be made in India, not brought from other countries.
BHEL also works with another company on a different kind of electrolyser.
So BHEL can now offer two different ways to make green hydrogen.
This helps India produce clean fuel and use Indian factories.
The leaders of both companies signed the agreement together.
BHEL and Hystar AS of Norway signed a strategic tie-up for PEM electrolyser systems.
The collaboration aims at phased indigenisation and local manufacturing of PEM electrolysers for green hydrogen projects in India.
The agreement was signed by BHEL's Y. Srinivas Rao and Sutripto De, and Hystar CEO Fredrik Mowill, in the presence of Royal Norwegian Embassy officials.
BHEL earlier tied up with thyssenkrupp nucera India for alkaline electrolyser systems, making it one of the few Indian players offering both alkaline and PEM solutions.
The tie-up strengthens BHEL's project execution capabilities for green hydrogen projects in India.
