MTAR Technologies, based in Hyderabad, has made significant strides in the clean hydrogen sector by securing international orders worth ₹386 crore (approximately $43.87 million) from its long-standing partner, Bloom Energy. This deal, which will see the delivery of critical components such as hot box assemblies and electrolyzer units, is set to be fulfilled in two phases, with the first tranche of ₹205 crore expected by March 2026 and the remaining ₹181 crore by June of the same year.

The collaboration serves to strengthen India's ambitions in the hydrogen export market, particularly as the global demand for solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) continues to grow. MTAR's managing director, Parvat Srinivas Reddy, emphasized the company’s capacity to navigate macroeconomic challenges while remaining competitive through innovative products and efficient execution. The advanced SOFC systems, which operate at high temperatures exceeding 800 degrees Celsius, can utilize either hydrogen or natural gas, achieving nearly zero emissions in the process.

MTAR’s offerings, including scalable SOFC modules and hydrogen power boxes, are tailored for decentralized off-grid and backup power solutions. Their in-house electrolyzers further facilitate the production of green hydrogen when integrated with renewable energy, aligning with India’s National Green Hydrogen Mission and enhancing the nation's export potential.

With over a decade of collaboration with Bloom Energy, MTAR is poised to expand its workforce to support this new order at its Hyderabad facility. The company has clarified that there are no related party interests involved in this contract, ensuring transparency in its dealings.

As Bloom Energy increases its footprint in Asia, including a substantial deployment agreement with South Korea's SK Ecoplant, MTAR stands ready to ride the wave of SOFC adoption across the region. This partnership not only underscores MTAR's potential role as a key player in the global clean energy supply chain but also highlights India's growing capabilities in hydrogen manufacturing for both domestic and international markets.
