Active Project Portfolio (Domestic & International)
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, Middle East and Africa.
From 50 kW pilots to multi-GW deployments—scalable across any water infrastructure.
Dam-free, reservoir-free technology with the lowest environmental footprint in hydropower.
Traditional hydropower depends upon dams, reservoirs, large civil structures and significant environmental intervention. MACLEC's Surface Hydrokinetic Turbine Technology generates renewable electricity directly from the natural kinetic energy of flowing water—without altering the river, canal or waterway.
Generate electricity directly from flowing water without blocking the stream or river.
Unlike solar and wind, flowing water provides continuous, reliable energy generation round the clock.
No submergence. No displacement. No reservoir. Fish and aquatic life pass freely through installations.
Factory manufactured modules. Rapid deployment at site. Minimal civil works required.
Deploy from 50 kW → 100 kW → 250 kW → MW → GW with growing turbine cluster arrays.
Engineered for long-term operation under harsh field conditions with minimal maintenance.
MACLEC's Surface Hydrokinetic Turbine technology enables clean, continuous and scalable electricity generation from naturally flowing or man-made water streams without dams, reservoirs, diversion structures or major civil construction.
Round-the-clock renewable energy from existing canal networks spanning thousands of kilometres.
Enhancing generation from tail race and head race channels without altering existing plant design.
Recovering energy from cooling water discharge channels—an untapped industrial energy resource.
Decentralised clean power for rural, defence and remote areas without dams or penstocks.
Hydrokinetic opportunities from tidal flows, marine currents and port water movement.
SHK-PSP for long-duration renewable energy storage where conventional PSP is not feasible.
Over the past decade, MACLEC's Surface Hydrokinetic Turbine Technology has progressed from a pioneering research concept into a commercially deployable renewable energy solution recognized by government agencies, regulatory authorities, research institutions and international organizations.
Recognized as an Innovative Technology Startup under the Government of India's flagship Startup India initiative for developing indigenous renewable energy technologies.
Recognized by the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research (DSIR), Ministry of Science & Technology, Government of India as a Research & Development Institution.
Certified by the Central Electricity Authority (CEA), Ministry of Power, Government of India. SHKT became one of the few renewable energy technologies in India to achieve TRL-9, confirming successful operation under actual field conditions.
The Central Electricity Authority formally recognized Surface Hydrokinetic Turbine Technology within India's Hydro and Small Hydro Power sector—establishing SHKT as a recognized renewable energy generation technology within the national regulatory framework.
MNRE acknowledged SHKT technology under the Small Hydro Power ecosystem and advised State Nodal Agencies to explore deployment opportunities.
MACLEC's technology has undergone technical reviews, performance assessments, CFD validation studies and academic evaluations by leading institutions including IIT Roorkee and government research agencies.
MACLEC's pioneering work in hydrokinetic energy has been acknowledged and showcased by several international organizations, innovation platforms and sustainability initiatives worldwide.
