BPCL inks MoU with KPIT Technologies to enhance hydrogen-based mobility in Kerala

19 Mar 2025 Evaluate

Bharat Petroleum Corporation (BPCL) has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with KPIT Technologies during the Global Hydrogen and Renewable Energy Summit in Kochi to promote hydrogen-based mobility initiatives in Kerala. This initiative, part of the National Green Hydrogen Mission, involves the establishment of Hydrogen Refuelling Stations (HRS) in Kochi and Trivandrum to support pilot mobility projects between the two cities, paving the way for safe and sustainable hydrogen-powered public transport. 

This collaboration supports the Aatmanirbhar Bharat initiative by integrating homegrown technologies for a strong hydrogen ecosystem. BPCL plans to deploy a locally developed alkaline electrolyser for hydrogen production, and KPIT Technologies will contribute an indigenously designed fuel cell-powered bus. 

BPCL's Hydrogen Refuelling Stations will create high-purity (>99.99%) green hydrogen for the buses, ensuring a sustainable energy source. BPCL will also gain practical experience in hydrogen dispensing, which will help develop a robust hydrogen mobility framework in India. This initiative will assess the operational reliability and durability of indigenous fuel cell stacks, evaluate the feasibility of fleet operations with passengers, and facilitate the wider adoption of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles across India.

BPCL is into exploration, production and retailing of petroleum and petrol related products. The retail business unit of BPCL is into marketing of petrol, diesel and kerosene.
