thyssenkrupp nucera has said, “Scaling green hydrogen in India requires solutions that are reliable, scalable, and aligned with the country’s industrial ambitions. This collaboration with BHEL underlines our commitment to support the build-up of a robust green hydrogen market in India over the long term.”
BHEL is one of India’s leading state‑owned engineering and manufacturing companies. With decades of experience across power generation, transmission, renewables, oil and gas, transportation, aerospace, and defense, the company has played a central role in building India’s industrial infrastructure. Its engineering prowess, extensive manufacturing network and centers of excellence across the country provide a strong foundation for this strategic collaboration
For thyssenkrupp nucera, the collaboration further anchors the company’s technology and business interests in India. Building on its strong global track record and proven electrolysis technology, the company is well positioned to support the reliable deployment of green hydrogen projects across the country
The collaboration with BHEL builds on a series of recent initiatives that underline thyssenkrupp nucera’s commitment to building the green hydrogen ecosystem in India. Earlier this year, the company launched a cooperation with Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) to support the development of green hydrogen and Power-to-X markets in India. Shortly thereafter, thyssenkrupp nucera was awarded a FEED study for a 260-megawatt green hydrogen project by Indian developer Juno Joule. Together, these steps reflect thyssenkrupp nucera’s clear ambition to play a leading role in shaping India’s emerging green hydrogen economy
