Toyota Kirloskar and Ohmium International Join Forces to Develop Green Hydrogen Solutions in India

Toyota Kirloskar Motor Private Ltd. and Ohmium International have entered into a strategic partnership to explore the development of green hydrogen-based energy systems in India. The companies signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) in New Delhi on Wednesday, signifying a collaborative effort to accelerate the deployment of hydrogen technologies across multiple sectors.

The partnership will integrate Toyota’s Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) fuel cell modules with Ohmium’s modular PEM electrolyzer systems. The initiative aims to deliver energy solutions that are not only scalable and efficient but also cost-effective—advancing the adoption of clean hydrogen technologies in line with India’s sustainability and energy independence goals.

Ohmium’s factory-built electrolyzers are designed for rapid deployment, featuring integrated power electronics and closed-loop cooling systems that minimize setup time and operational costs. The systems’ hyper-modular architecture allows for flexibility in design and application, making them well-suited for varied industrial, commercial, and off-grid use cases.

The MoU signing ceremony was attended by prominent government officials, including Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari, Minister of State for New and Renewable Energy Shripad Yesso Naik, and Delhi’s Environment Minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa. Senior executives from Toyota Kirloskar, including Vice Chairperson Manasi Tata Kirloskar and Deputy Managing Director Swapnesh R. Maru, were also present at the event.

Sudeep Dalvi, Chief Communication Officer of Toyota Kirloskar Motor, stated that the collaboration represents a shared commitment to accelerating India’s carbon neutrality goals. “By bringing together Toyota’s advanced fuel cell technology with Ohmium’s cutting-edge hydrogen systems, we aim to develop energy solutions that are scalable, efficient, and accessible,” he said.

Arne Ballantine, CEO of Ohmium, expressed optimism about the partnership’s potential. “We’re thrilled to work alongside Toyota to make green hydrogen-powered technologies viable in the near term,” he noted, highlighting the companies’ shared vision for a cleaner energy future.
