Event Summary

On August 13, 2026, Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL), an Indian state-owned engineering and manufacturing company, signed a Strategic Collaboration Agreement with Norway's Hystar AS to enable phased indigenisation and local manufacturing of PEM electrolyser systems for green hydrogen projects in India. The agreement was signed by BHEL executives Y. Srinivas Rao and Sutripto De, and Hystar CEO Fredrik Mowill, in the presence of Arvinn Eikeland Gadgil, Chargé d'Affaires of the Royal Norwegian Embassy in New Delhi. The collaboration strengthens BHEL's position as one of the few Indian players capable of offering both alkaline and PEM electrolyser solutions, complementing an earlier tie-up with ThyssenKrupp Nucera India Private Limited for alkaline electrolyser systems. The agreement supports India's India — National Green Hydrogen Mission and the Make in India initiative, enhancing BHEL's project execution capabilities in the emerging green hydrogen market.
