Adani New Industries Limited (ANIL) has successfully launched India’s first off-grid 5 MW Green Hydrogen Pilot Plant in Kutch, Gujarat, marking a significant step forward in the country’s clean energy transition. The cutting-edge plant is entirely powered by solar energy and includes an integrated Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), allowing it to operate independently from the grid.
This innovative facility sets a new standard for decentralized, renewable-powered hydrogen production, paving the way for future green hydrogen projects in India and globally. The ANIL plant is the first of its kind in India, featuring a fully automated, closed-loop electrolyzer system that adapts to real-time renewable energy inputs. This system ensures flexibility in operations, particularly in managing the intermittent nature of solar power, while maintaining high efficiency, safety, and reliability.
This achievement highlights Adani Group’s ongoing commitment to innovation, sustainability, and leadership in the emerging green hydrogen market. It also aligns with India’s goal to become a global leader in green hydrogen production, setting a benchmark for industrial applications across sectors that are challenging to decarbonize.
The pilot plant serves as a proof of concept ahead of ANIL’s larger Green Hydrogen Hub, set to be developed in Mundra, Gujarat. This ambitious project will play a key role in India’s low-carbon future and help decarbonize industries like fertilisers, refining, and heavy transport. Green hydrogen is expected to be crucial in achieving global net-zero emissions targets.
Hydrogen is classified by color based on how it’s produced: Grey hydrogen is made from fossil fuels, while green hydrogen is created using renewable energy sources, such as solar or wind, to split water into hydrogen and oxygen through electrolysis.
ANIL is working on developing large-scale facilities for the production of green hydrogen and its derivatives, including green ammonia, green methanol, sustainable aviation fuel, and more. These projects will be part of an integrated ecosystem located in Mundra, Gujarat, which will also manufacture solar cells, ingots, wafers, solar modules, wind turbine generators, and electrolysers. This comprehensive setup is designed to meet both domestic and international demand across a wide range of sectors.
