SRM University-AP, Haruka’s partner on the green hydrogen project

SRM University-AP has partnered with Haruka Clean Energy Private Limited to develop renewable energy solutions, including eco-friendly hydrogen and battery storage systems, supported by an AI-powered energy management platform.

As part of the collaboration, the two organizations signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to set up a pilot hydrogen-powered public lighting system on the university campus.

The memorandum was signed by Vice-Chancellor Ch. Satish Kumar and Haruka Clean Energy Director Ravindraa Madan Mohan Sinha in the presence of Executive Director (Research), SRM Group of Institutions, D. Narayana Rao, Dean-Academic Affairs and Registrar (i/c) Jatindra Kumar Dash, Director Kavindraa Sinha and Advisor Ravi Vedam.

The project will provide students and teachers with hands-on experience with an intelligent microgrid system based on green hydrogen and fuel cells. It will also facilitate applications for grants, incentives and pilot project support under central and state government programs related to green hydrogen, renewable energy, energy storage, research and innovation.

Mr. Narayana Rao said the partnership aims to create a visible green hydrogen demonstration project in Amaravati that supports Andhra Pradesh’s clean energy and sustainable infrastructure goals.

Mr Satish Kumar and Mr Kavindraa Sinha said the proposed street lighting system could serve as a model for wider adoption across educational institutions, public infrastructure and smart city projects in the state. They said the initiative will support the expansion of decentralized green energy systems and boost Andhra Pradesh’s ambition to become a green hydrogen hub.
