EH Group sets foot in the Indian market

Since its incorporation in 2017, EH Group has been focused on the design and production of fuel cell technology to decarbonise heavy-duty mobility and large-scale stationary applications. The Nyon-based company today offers high-power density fuel cell stacks with greater efficiencies and a unique production process that radically reduces costs with scale.

Alongside Anand is a pre-established team and several additional hires, notably from the strong academic talent pool at IIT Madras. Further new employees will be added.

“India is demonstrating its ambition to be a leader in hydrogen technologies, as witnessed by strong policy support and industrial investment announcements. Our goal is not only to support our fuel cell technology development but to better service our clients in the rapidly growing hydrogen sector in India,” said Mardit Matian, founder of EH Group.
