Reimagining Hydropower
for the Twenty-First Century
From remote villages and irrigation canals to thermal power plants and utility-scale renewable energy parks, MACLEC's Surface Hydrokinetic Turbine technology is unlocking a new era of sustainable energy generation by transforming the kinetic energy of flowing water into clean electricity—without altering the natural course of the stream.
Proprietary SHKT platform developed entirely in India with full IP ownership.
Active projects and partnerships across India, Central Asia, the Middle East, Africa and Southeast Asia.
Designed to scale from 50 kW pilots to GW-scale portfolios—across any water infrastructure.
Dam-free, reservoir-free technology with a very low environmental footprint.
The Minds Behind MACLEC
MACLEC was founded by brothers Narayan Bhardwaj and Dr. BalRam Bhardwaj. Their SHK Turbine technology generates electricity from canals, rivers and channels without building dams.
Narayan Bhardwaj
His journey shows the power of vision and hard work with determination; anything is possible. From a young age, he dared to dream big, driven by a passion to illuminate billions of lives with reliable, affordable, and accessible energy. Hailing from Ratlam, a small Indian town, he turned his bold vision into a remarkable reality — building MACLEC into an international hydrokinetic energy company.
Dr. BalRam Bhardwaj
He embodies the spirit of innovation, leveraging his environmental engineering expertise to make sustainable technology accessible. With over a decade of experience in engineering design, manufacturing, and business development, he leads MACLEC's engineering, manufacturing and business development — inspiring the team to craft impactful solutions for a brighter, greener future.
