Ohmium International has commissioned India's first green hydrogen electrolyzer

manufacturing facility in Bengaluru, Karnataka. The factory will manufacture Proton

Exchange Membrane Hydrogen Electrolyzers manufactured in India. Green hydrogen is made

from non-fossil sources, while blue hydrogen is made from fossil sources. Making green

hydrogen in India will provide cost benefits to the manufacturers instead of importing them.
