The India-based subsidiary of Ohmium International (Ohmium) has been chosen as the PEM electrolyser partner of NTPC Renewable Energy Limited (REL), the renewable energy subsidiary of NTPC, India’s largest power utility with more than 70 gigawatts (GW) installed generation capacity. The agreement is valid for a period of two years, through to May 2025.
This is the largest-ever PEM electrolyser deal in India and one of the largest globally. The agreement is expected to open up a plethora of opportunities in the green hydrogen sector in India.
