Advik Hi-Tech, a Pune-based company which manufactures auto components, has tied-up with an Australia company called H2X, for producing fuel cells, generators and vehicles in India. The Melbourne, Australia-based H2X will have a 49% stake in the JV company with Advik, which has more than $100 million in annual revenues.
Advik Hi-Tech Pvt Ltd has successfully entered into a Joint Venture agreement with H2X Global Limited for the production of critical components for hydrogen vehicles and hydrogen-powered products, Advik has said in a LinkedIn post.
Launching immediately H2X and ADVIK will begin production of H2X's Series of Fuel Cell Powered Generators. H2X currently has several of these units in deployment in Australia. The first generators manufactured by the joint venture will be put into service with a large-scale power system providing emission-free power for ADVIK's state-of-the-art Research and Development Centre located in Pune, India.
"India is destined to be a leader in the Hydrogen Industry with strong support from Government and Industry. As a company which has always been ahead of the curve, we are aggressively pushing into the Hydrogen space as a core growth area for our company and as a leader of this movement in the country," says Aditya Bhartia, Managing Director for ADVIK Hi-Tech. "We have great confidence in the product range from H2X as being one with several key opportunities to support to the deployment of Hydrogen in the Indian Market and together with our local knowledge and expertise we see great opportunity to develop this for the acceleration of the Indian Clean Energy movement."
Brendan Norman, CEO of H2X believes that the Indian Market is critical to the long-term success of the Hydrogen Industry and that the partnership with ADVIK will be critical to the growth of the company. "We have long believed India is one of the great manufacturing powers of the world and we have found a great player in the automotive Industry in ADVIK. The cooperation between our companies gives us great strength in being able to address India but also to provide us with a strong Manufacturing Backbone to support our production activities in Australia and other parts of the world as well."
