HYDGEN Secures $5M to Revolutionize Green Hydrogen Production
Karnataka, Monday, 27 October 2025.
HYDGEN, a green hydrogen innovator, raised $5M to enhance cost-effective hydrogen production. This funding supports their unique AEM electrolyzer technology, crucial for sustainable energy’s future. Exciting times for cleaner industries!
A Boost for Green Hydrogen
HYDGEN, the green hydrogen innovator from Karnataka, has raised a significant US$5 million in their recent Pre-A funding round. This investment, led by Transition Venture Capital, is set to turbocharge their proprietary anion exchange membrane (AEM) electrolyzer technology. By combining the affordability of alkaline technology with the flexibility of PEM systems, HYDGEN aims to revolutionize on-site hydrogen production, making it more cost-effective and eco-friendly[1].
Global Support for Hydrogen Initiatives
This funding comes at an opportune moment, aligning with global green hydrogen initiatives such as India’s National Green Hydrogen Mission and Canada’s Clean Hydrogen Investment Tax Credit. Both initiatives are part of a broader push towards sustainable energy solutions, reflecting the growing demand for technologies that can reduce carbon footprints globally[2][3].
Scaling Up Production
With the new infusion of funds, HYDGEN plans to upgrade their Mangalore manufacturing facility. This includes transitioning to a semi-automated assembly line to boost production capacity. The company is also working on increasing the capacity of its AEM stacks to 250 kW. This strategic move is expected to enhance the scalability of their operations and meet the rising market demand[1].
International Expansion Plans
Looking beyond India, HYDGEN has its sights set on global markets. The new funding will aid in expanding their presence in regions like Japan, Europe, and the Middle East. This expansion is part of their mission to make green hydrogen cheaper, purer, and readily available wherever industries need it most[1][3].
A Vision for the Future
HYDGEN’s co-founder, Dr. Goutam Dalapati, expressed confidence in their trajectory, emphasizing the company’s commitment to making green hydrogen accessible and cost-competitive. This vision aligns with the industry’s expectations of a significant rise in the green hydrogen market, projected to be worth over €200 billion by 2030[2][3].
