L&T Energy GreenTech to Establish India鈥檚 Largest Green Hydrogen Plant
- 21 July 2025
Mumbai: L&T Energy GreenTech Ltd (LTEG), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Larsen & Toubro (L&T), will set up India鈥檚 largest green hydrogen plant at Indian Oil Corporation Ltd鈥檚 (IOCL) Panipat Refinery in Haryana.
The plant, to be developed on a build-own-operate (BOO) basis, will supply 10,000 tonnes of green hydrogen annually to IOCL for 25 years, supporting Government of India鈥檚 National Green Hydrogen Mission.
The plant will operate round the clock using renewable energy, aligning with IOCL鈥檚 broader strategy to decarbonise its refining operations and contribute to India鈥檚 net-zero ambitions. It will produce the green hydrogen using high-pressure alkaline electrolysers manufactured at L&T Electrolysers Ltd鈥檚 state-of-the-art facility in Hazira, Gujarat.
The initiative marks a significant milestone in India鈥檚 energy transition and reinforces L&T鈥檚 leadership in delivering sustainable, scalable clean energy infrastructure. With this development, LTEG becomes a pioneer in India鈥檚 green hydrogen ecosystem, setting a precedent for industrial-scale adoption across refineries, fertiliser plants, and other hard-to-abate sectors.
Commenting on this, Mr Subramanian Sarma, Deputy Managing Director & President, L&T, said: 鈥淭he decision to set up India鈥檚 maiden green hydrogen plant validates our strategy to lead the nation鈥檚 energy transition. 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鈥檚 green hydrogen space, we are proud to lay the foundation for cleaner industrial processes at scale.鈥
Complementing him, Mr Derek Shah, Head 鈥 Green Manufacturing & Development, L&T, added: 鈥淭his project reflects our end-to-end green energy capabilities 鈥 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鈥檚 Aatmanirbhar Bharat mission by deploying indigenously manufactured electrolysers 鈥 central to self-reliant clean-tech solutions and long-term decarbonisation goals.鈥
