Fuel Cell R&D
Compact, modular stacks; non-precious catalysts; auto & marine duty cycles.
India-first clean-tech
Modular electrolyzers and storage — built for mobility, marine, and microgrids.
Why we exist
Modular electrolyzers that let harbors, waterways, fleet depots, and village microgrids cut diesel — without changing how they work.
Prototypes proven at docks and depots — tuned for fast refuel, rugged hardware, and simple operation.
Bankable H₂ assets that replace diesel in mobility, marine, and microgrids.
A clean-fuel network where hydrogen moves like today’s fuels — powering work and stabilizing the grid.
Stacks and balance-of-plant in prototyping; partner pilots underway; awards and incubation de-risking first deployments.
Compact, modular stacks; non-precious catalysts; auto & marine duty cycles.
PEM/alkaline options from 1–20 MW; compressed, cryogenic, and LOHC storage.
Diesel displacement, renewables integration, and rural electrification at scale.
Modular systems engineered for Indian conditions — efficient, serviceable, and safe.
Flagship
Splits seawater into hydrogen directly — no desalination step.
Full lab bench — power, pumping, and gas handling around the stack.
Compressed, cryogenic, and LOHC — engineered to codes & safety standards.
Wind/solar-coupled electrolysis for seasonal storage and grid balancing.
Electrochemical materials and hardware — from lab to MW scale.
Self-supporting AEM for water electrolysis, CO₂ reduction, and AEM fuel cells — high conductivity, alkaline-durable.
Ni–Fe / Co OER electrodes on SS/Ti for alkaline and AEM electrolysis — low polarization, long life.
MEAs, bipolar/monopolar plates, gaskets, and end plates — modular kits for fast iteration.
Ag/AgCl, SCE, RHE, and pseudo-reference designs for precise potential control.
Glassy carbon, Pt, Au discs and RRDE systems for catalyst screening.
Turn-key stacks and skids with BoP — ruggedized for variable RE inputs.
Sintered SS, Ni, Ti substrates for gas diffusion and thermal management in stacks.
Applied electrochemistry support for industry and research — from prototype design to scale-up.
Two/three-wheelers & fleet autos with rapid refuel and low TCO.
Inland boats & harbor craft; shore power and hybrid retrofits.
Resilient village power & agri-processing with renewables + H₂/NH₃.
Clean-tech innovation recognition.
Selected cohort; product & market acceleration support.
