BHEL has signed a technology transfer pact with BARC to adopt Indian-made diaphragm technology for electrolysers. The move supports green hydrogen production, aims to cut costs, and may impact the BHEL share price as investors respond to its clean energy push.
Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL) has entered into a Technology Transfer Agreement with the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC) to acquire indigenous Mixed-Matrix Membrane Diaphragm Technology. This development is aimed at reducing costs and import reliance in green hydrogen production, supporting India's clean energy goals under the National Green Hydrogen Mission. The technology will be integrated into alkaline electrolysers to efficiently separate hydrogen and oxygen during electrolysis, a core process in green hydrogen generation.

BARC’s Mixed-Matrix Membrane Diaphragm is a cost-effective and scalable solution that replaces expensive imported diaphragms like Zirfon and asbestos-based materials. These diaphragms are essential in electrolysis, where they facilitate the separation of gases in hydrogen production.
Through this agreement, BHEL will now be able to indigenously manufacture key components for alkaline electrolysers, strengthening the supply chain for India’s green hydrogen infrastructure. This marks a significant step towards reducing foreign dependence in a critical energy sector and supports domestic manufacturing capabilities.
