Developed on a build-own-operate (BOO) basis, the plant will supply 10,000 tonnes of green hydrogen per year to IOCL for a period of 25 years. It will operate round the clock using renewable energy and is intended to support the Government of India’s National Green Hydrogen Mission.
Green hydrogen will be produced using high-pressure alkaline electrolysers manufactured at L&T Electrolysers Ltd’s facility in Hazira, Gujarat.
LTEG stated that the project marks a major milestone in India’s energy transition and reinforces L&T’s role in delivering scalable clean energy infrastructure. The company described the development as a precedent-setting step for industrial-scale adoption of green hydrogen across hard-to-abate sectors.
“The decision to set up India’s maiden green hydrogen plant validates our strategy to lead the nation’s energy transition,” said Subramanian Sarma, Deputy Managing Director & President at L&T. “This long-term project not only deepens our partnership with IOCL but also reinforces our capability to deliver large-scale clean energy solutions. As a first mover in India’s green hydrogen space, we are proud to lay the foundation for cleaner industrial processes at scale.”
Derek Shah, Head – Green Manufacturing & Development at L&T, added: “This project reflects our end-to-end green energy capabilities – from electrolyser manufacturing to execution and operation. With cutting-edge technology and a skilled team, we are confident of delivering a high-performance, zero-emission plant that sets new industry benchmarks. The initiative also supports India’s Aatmanirbhar Bharat mission by deploying indigenously manufactured electrolysers – central to self-reliant clean-tech solutions and long-term decarbonisation goals.”
