Green Hydrogen Project India is lighting the way toward a cleaner, more sustainable future. Launched at Deendayal Port in Gujarat, this trailblazing port-based green hydrogen project marks a significant milestone in India’s clean energy initiative.
Overview of the Green Hydrogen Project
The Green Hydrogen Project India at Deendayal Port Gujarat is the nation’s first megawatt-scale green hydrogen plant implemented under the Make-in-India drive. A 1 MW facility—part of an anticipated 10 MW system—was commissioned in July 2025. Developed by Larsen & Toubro, it’s expected to produce around 140 metric tonnes of green hydrogen annually.
Why It Matters for India
This project stands as a pivotal clean energy initiative, demonstrating how sustainable, indigenously built infrastructure can support India’s goals of maritime decarbonization and energy self-reliance. Union Minister Sarbananda Sonowal praised the project for its “speed, scale, and skill,” heralding it as a model for future green hydrogen ventures.
Project Location in Gujarat
Situated at Deendayal Port, Gujarat, specifically in Kandla, this project harnesses the strategic advantages of port infrastructure and local renewable power sources. The location facilitates easy integration into port operations and future scalability.
Key Benefits of the Project
- Decarbonizes port operations by powering equipment and street lighting with zero-emission fuel.
- Promotes clean energy initiative goals, aligning with India’s Net Zero by 2070 commitment.
- Represents Make-in-India strength: built entirely using Indian engineering talent and domestic manufacturing.
Future Expansion Plans
The current 1 MW module is just the beginning. A full 10 MW plant is in the pipeline, with additional phases expected by mid-next fiscal year. Once complete, the facility could produce significantly more hydrogen—potentially powering all port operations, including tugs and vehicles.
Step Toward Clean Energy
With India placing green hydrogen at the heart of its sustainable energy policy, this project sets the stage for replication across other ports. It aligns with national priorities like the National Green Hydrogen Mission and Maritime India Vision 2030, showcasing how localized projects can fuel the broader transition toward a green future.
