Advait Energy Transitions has signed an MoU with Norway-based TECO Fuel Cell Technology AS at the 3rd India–Nordic Summit in Oslo to establish a framework for hydrogen fuel cell manufacturing in India.

The agreement was signed by Shalin Sheth, Founder and Managing Director, Advait Energy Transitions, and Tore Enger, Executive Chairman, TECO Maritime Group and CEO, TECO Fuel Cell Technology AS. The signing was witnessed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Norway Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre.

Under the collaboration, TECO Fuel Cell Technology and AVL List GmbH of Austria will bring their jointly developed 400 kW hydrogen fuel cell module and 100 kW fuel cell stack to India for local manufacture, adaptation and deployment. The modular technology can be scaled into multi-megawatt configurations.

The partnership will focus on stationary power, including data centres, from Q1 2027; heavy-duty transport and mobility from Q1 2028; and maritime applications through 2028. It is expected to create at least 200 skilled jobs by 2032 across engineering, production, systems integration and project execution.

The agreement supports India’s Atmanirbhar Bharat initiative and the National Green Hydrogen Mission.
