Ohmium International (Ohmium), a green hydrogen company that designs, manufactures, and deploys advanced proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzers, has announced the launch of its new gigafactory in Doddaballapura, just outside of Bengaluru, India. Spanning around 14,000 square meters of production space, the state-of-the-art manufacturing facility is ramping up to ship 2 GW of fully assembled and tested electrolyzer systems to meet the demands of Ohmium’s global project pipeline.
“The ribbon cutting at our new gigafactory marks a major milestone for Ohmium and enables us to deliver green hydrogen solutions to our growing pipeline of customers across India and around the world,” said Arne Ballantine, Ohmium CEO. “2 GW of electrolyzers can abate four million tons of CO2 per year – equivalent to the CO2 captured by 180 million trees. And for us it’s just the beginning.”
The new gigafactory is Ohmium’s second manufacturing facility in India, and its first to bring together key manufacturing, assembly, quality assurance, testing, warehouse and shipping facilities under one roof.
“Ohmium’s unique hyper modular PEM electrolyzers are designed for mass production and easy assembly,” explained Ashwin Varma, Ohmium COO. “By implementing the best practices of standardized, high quality and efficient manufacturing, we can build systems that achieve superior performance at a very competitive cost. With this standardized approach, our factory production can scale up quickly to meet growing demand, with additional cost savings as capacity expands.”
Ohmium secured a 400 MW deal with NTPC in 2023, and entered into strategic partnership with Tata Projects in 2024. It has also been selected for the Ministry of Renewable Energy’s first round of Strategic Interventions for Green Hydrogen Transition (SIGHT) Incentives.
Ohmium has also collaborated with India’s CSIR-Central Electrochemical Research Institute (CSIR-CECRI) and IIT Madras Research Park (IITMRP) to enable the rapid transfer of innovation into production to meet the growing demand for green hydrogen projects in India and around the world.
