Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL) has entered into a technology transfer agreement with the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC) to develop advanced electrolyser systems for hydrogen production. This collaboration represents a key milestone in India’s clean energy transition, supporting the goals of the National Green Hydrogen Mission and the Make in India initiative.
At the core of the agreement is the transfer of BARC’s Mixed-Matrix Membrane Diaphragm technology—a critical component for electrochemical cells. This innovative, asbestos-free diaphragm offers a cost-effective, domestically developed alternative to imported Zirfon diaphragms currently used in water electrolysers.
By adopting this indigenous technology, BHEL aims to boost the localisation of alkaline electrolyser manufacturing, strengthen its role in the green hydrogen value chain, and expand its footprint in India’s clean energy landscape.
