In a major step towards India’s energy transition, indigenous electrolysers manufactured by Larsen & Toubro (L&T) were flagged off on Tuesday (18 March) for installation at the upcoming 1 MW Green Hydrogen plant at Deendayal Port Authority (DPA) in Gujarat's Kandla.
This marks a key milestone in the National Green Hydrogen Mission, with the project set to become India's first port-based Green Hydrogen facility using locally made electrolysers.
The electrolysers were virtually flagged off by Union Minister of Ports, Shipping and Waterways Sarbananda Sonowal.
The electrolysers were dispatched from L&T’s Hazira manufacturing unit.
Key Features of the Electrolysers and Green Hydrogen Plant
Indigenous Technology: The electrolysers were manufactured by L&T under the "Make-in-India" initiative for a 1 MW Green Hydrogen Plant being set up at DPA, Kandla.
Production Capacity: The Green Hydrogen Plant at DPA Kandla will be operational by July 2025, producing 18 kg of hydrogen per hour, making it India's first port-based plant using indigenous electrolysers.
Future Expansion: DPA plans to expand into Green Ammonia production, advancing India's Net Zero goals. The initiative aims to establish a port-operated 1 MW Green Hydrogen Plant, with plans to scale it up to 10 MW in the future.
