India's Largest Green Hydrogen Plant Coming Up At Indian Oil’s Panipat Refinery

Panipat, Jul 21 (KNN) L&T Energy GreenTech (LTEG), a wholly owned subsidiary of Larsen & Toubro (L&T), announced plans to establish India's largest green hydrogen production facility at Indian Oil Corporation's (IOCL) Panipat refinery in Haryana. The announcement was made through a company filing on Monday.

The facility will be developed under a build-own-operate (BOO) model and is designed to supply 10,000 tonnes of green hydrogen annually to IOCL over a 25-year period.

The project represents a significant milestone in India's renewable energy sector and supports the government's National Green Hydrogen Mission objectives.

The initiative is expected to contribute substantially to reducing carbon emissions from IOCL's refining operations.

The plant will operate continuously using renewable energy sources and will employ high-pressure alkaline electrolysers manufactured at L&T Electrolysers Ltd's facility in Hazira, Gujarat.

Subramaniam Sarma, Deputy Managing Director and President, L&T, described the development as validation of the company's strategic focus on leading India's energy transition.

He emphasised that the long-term project strengthens L&T's partnership with IOCL while demonstrating the company's capacity to deliver large-scale clean energy solutions.

Sarma noted L&T's position as a first mover in India's green hydrogen sector and its role in establishing foundations for cleaner industrial processes.

Derek Shah, Head of Green Manufacturing & Development, L&T, highlighted the project as a demonstration of the company's comprehensive green energy capabilities.

He stated that L&T aims to deliver a high-efficiency, zero-emission facility that advances the Aatmanirbhar Bharat initiative through the deployment of domestically manufactured electrolysers.
