Adani Group Commissions India's First Off-Grid Green Hydrogen Plant in Gujarat
| Category | Details |
|---|---|
| Key Highlight | Adani Group commissioned India's first off-grid 5 megawatt green hydrogen pilot plant in Kutch, Gujarat on June 23, 2025. |
| Developer | Adani New Industries Limited (ANIL) - the clean energy division of Adani Enterprises Ltd. |
| Technology | Off-grid design powered by solar energy; electrolysis splits water into hydrogen and oxygen; integrated Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) ensures continuous operation. |
| Innovation | Fully automated, closed-loop electrolyser system dynamically responds to real-time renewable energy inputs, optimizing efficiency and addressing solar intermittency. |
| Location | Pilot plant in Kutch, Gujarat; larger Green Hydrogen Hub planned in Mundra, Gujarat for green hydrogen and derivatives like green ammonia, green methanol, and sustainable aviation fuel. |
| Alignment with Goals | Supports India's National Green Hydrogen Mission (NGHM) and Atmanirbhar Bharat vision, aiming to reduce import dependence and enhance energy self-sufficiency. |
| Clean Energy Impact | Green hydrogen produced without fossil fuels; only water vapor released when burned; key to decarbonizing sectors like fertilizers, refining, and heavy transport. |
| Ecosystem Development | ANIL is building an integrated ecosystem for large-scale production of green hydrogen and derivatives, including electrolysers and solar components, targeting both domestic and international markets. |
| Future Significance | Pilot plant serves as a proof of concept for decentralized, renewable-powered hydrogen production, paving the way for broader industrial adoption and supporting India's climate goals. |
