L&T Energy GreenTech Ltd (LTEG), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Indian multinational conglomerate Larsen & Toubro (L&T), today announced a monumental project to set up India's largest green hydrogen plant. 

This pioneering facility will be located at Indian Oil Corporation Ltd's (IOCL) Panipat Refinery in Haryana, marking a significant leap in India's green energy transition.

Under a Build-Own-Operate (BOO) model, LTEG will develop and operate the plant, which is designed to supply 10,000 tonnes of green hydrogen annually to IOCL for a period of 25 years. 

This long-term commitment underscores both companies' dedication to decarbonizing industrial processes and contributing to India's ambitious net-zero targets.

The plant will operate continuously, 24/7, utilizing renewable energy to produce green hydrogen. A key highlight of this project is the use of high-pressure alkaline electrolysers manufactured at L&T Electrolysers Ltd's state-of-the-art facility in Hazira, Gujarat. 

"This decision to set up India's maiden green hydrogen plant validates our strategy to lead the nation's energy transition," said Subramaniam Sarma, Deputy Managing Director & President, L&T.

Derek Shah, Head – Green Manufacturing & Development, 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."
