Statcon Energiaa, AEG PS Partner for Green Hydrogen Rectifiers

In a significant boost to India's green hydrogen aspirations, Statcon Energiaa, a homegrown leader in mission-critical power electronics, has signed an exclusive licence-and-supply agreement with German engineering major AEG Power Solutions (AEG PS) to co-develop and manufacture megawatt-scale hydrogen rectifiers in India.

This strategic partnership marks a major step in localising key components for India’s green hydrogen infrastructure, while also showcasing successful global technology transfer.

Under the agreement, Statcon Energiaa will design, produce, and service advanced rectifier systems using core components from AEG PS, including PCBAs, IGBTs, and Thyristors. The systems will be manufactured in India and engineered to suit the diverse climatic and industrial conditions across the country. These next-generation hydrogen rectifiers, which ensure high power quality at the AC input and minimal ripple at the DC output, are essential to the electrolysis process at the heart of green hydrogen production.

The collaboration brings together German technical expertise and Indian manufacturing scale, offering local developers and EPC companies access to globally benchmarked technology, now made in India. Statcon Energiaa will provide full lifecycle support for these systems, covering everything from factory-floor integration to post-installation service. This is expected to significantly reduce lead times, enhance system reliability, and lower the total cost of ownership for developers in the green hydrogen space.

Manoj Pande, Managing Director of Statcon Energiaa, said the partnership turbo-charges India’s ability to build and deploy green hydrogen systems at scale. “By combining AEG PS’s proven rectifier designs with Statcon Energiaa’s Make-in-India manufacturing muscle, we can help GH2 developers, EPCs, and Electrolyser companies unlock efficiencies at gigawatt scale, while anchoring the value chain firmly on Indian soil,” he said.

Jörg Liedloff, Vice President, Energy Transition at AEG PS, described the partnership as a significant milestone in the global energy transition, stating that the collaboration enables scalable and sustainable hydrogen production in India by blending German rectifier expertise with Indian execution capabilities. Echoing this sentiment, Marc-André Micke, Global Sales Director for Energy Transition at AEG PS, said, “We are proud to collaborate with Statcon Energiaa, a trusted partner bringing our high-power rectifier solutions to one of the most dynamic energy markets in the world.”

From a customer standpoint, this development offers Indian buyers access to advanced, grid-connected, and rugged rectifier systems that were previously only available through imports. With local manufacturing, customisation, and after-sales support now available within the country, stakeholders in the green hydrogen value chain are expected to benefit from improved service timelines and lower dependency on foreign vendors.

Nationally, the partnership aligns with the goals of the National Green Hydrogen Mission and India’s broader ambitions for technological self-reliance. By enabling an Indian MSME to manufacture German-designed rectifier systems domestically, the agreement sets an important precedent for future technology collaborations. It is also expected to create high-skilled jobs, support skill development, and enhance India’s potential to become a global exporter of green hydrogen infrastructure.

For Statcon Energiaa, the alliance significantly elevates its technological capabilities and opens new global markets, while strengthening its position as a key contributor to India’s clean energy ecosystem. For AEG PS, the move is a strategic one that expands its presence in one of the most promising green hydrogen markets in the world, allowing for faster deployment of its technology through a trusted Indian partner.

Technologically, the introduction of IGBT-based megawatt rectifier systems for electrolyser applications is a major upgrade to India’s green hydrogen toolkit. These rectifiers are designed to meet the efficiency, scalability, and low-harmonic distortion requirements essential for both PEM and alkaline electrolyser systems. The collaboration also offers a replicable model for other MSMEs seeking to integrate global innovation into locally manufactured solutions.

As India ramps up its green hydrogen infrastructure in line with national decarbonisation targets, efficient and cost-effective rectifier systems will be essential to drive project viability and scalability. By building these systems domestically, Statcon Energiaa and AEG PS are not only reducing import dependency but also ensuring better integration, shorter supply timelines, and continuity in technology support. Their combined engineering, assembly, and test capabilities position them well to support India’s energy transition goals in the years ahead.
