India’s National Green Hydrogen Mission envisions 5 million tones per year of green hydrogen production capacity by 2030, but meeting that target hinges on improving the performance and cost-effectiveness of core electrolyzer components.
In this context, Statcon Energiaa’s new exclusive license-and-supply agreement with Germany’s AEG Power Solutions (AEG PS) is aimed at closing a critical technology gap: high-efficiency, MW-scale rectifier systems.
Under the deal, Statcon Energiaa will manufacture rectifiers in India using AEG PS’s proven core assemblies – including printed circuit board assemblies (PCBA), insulated gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs) and thyristors – integrating them into designs optimized for India’s diverse grid and climatic conditions.
The IGBT-based rectifier platforms, compatible with both PEM and alkaline electrolyzers, are engineered for high efficiency and low harmonic distortion. This combination enables low-ripple DC output, reducing stress on electrolyzer stacks and improving hydrogen yield. With AC input conditioning tailored to local variability, the systems aim to mitigate one of the most persistent challenges in India’s industrial power infrastructure: voltage and frequency instability.
The partnership reflects a “Make in India” approach, combining German engineering reliability with Indian manufacturing capacity. Manoj Pande, Statcon Energiaa’s Managing Director, stressed that local production of critical components could reduce supply chain dependence, shorten project lead times, and strengthen domestic expertise – all vital for developers, EPC contractors, and electrolyzer manufacturers targeting gigawatt-scale deployments.
For Statcon Energiaa, the agreement positions the company as a key supplier in a sector where balance-of-plant components often represent a bottleneck. For AEG PS, it enables market penetration in one of the fastest-growing hydrogen economies while maintaining control over core intellectual property through licensed designs.
AEG PS’s Vice-President for Energy Transition, Jörg Liedloff, described the collaboration as a milestone in enabling scalable hydrogen production, pointing to the need for robust, efficient power electronics to sustain large-scale operations.
