Enerzi raises Rs 16.5 Cr in seed round led by Capital-A Methane-to-hydrogen platform Enerzi has raised Rs 16.5 crore (around $2 million) in a seed round led by Capital-A, with participation from 8x Ventures and angel investors. The proceeds will be used to expand Enerzi’s manufacturing capacity and grow its engineering and plasma science teams. It will also accelerate commercial deployment of its hydrogen and nanocarbon platform in India and international markets. Based in Belagavi, Enerzi is building a methane-to-hydrogen platform using microwave plasma reactors. The system converts methane into clean hydrogen and produces solid carbon nanopowder as a co-product. This strengthens hydrogen economics and creates applications across batteries, composites, and materials engineering. Enerzi develops microwave–plasma systems for clean hydrogen production and engineered carbon materials. It also manufactures industrial microwave-based heating systems for rubber processing, polymer curing, foundry drying, and materials engineering. The company’s work in hardware design, materials science, and process engineering forms the base for its shift into methane plasmolysis. Enerzi is part of Maxcel, an accelerator programme launched by Capital-A and SanchiConnect for hardware and industrial technology startups. The programme received more than 2,000 applications, and Enerzi is among its selected companies.
