Adani New Industries Limited (ANIL)today
announced the successful commissioning of India’s first off-grid 5 MW Green
Hydrogen Pilot Plant in Kutch, Gujarat, marking a major milestone in the
nation’sclean energy transition.
The state-of-the-art plant is 100% green-powered
by solar energy and integrated with
a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), enabling it to operate completely off-grid.
This represents a new paradigm in decentralized, renewable-powered hydrogen
production.
The ANIL pilot plant is
India’s first off-grid 5 MW green hydrogen facility featuring a fully
automated, closed-loop electrolyzer system designed to respond dynamically to
real-time renewable energy inputs. This provides valuable operational
flexibility, particularly in addressing the variability of solar power, while ensuring
efficiency, safety and performance.
This breakthrough reinforces
the Adani Group’s commitment to innovation, sustainability, and leadership in
the emerging green hydrogen economy. It supports India’s ambition to become a
global hub for green hydrogen production and sets a benchmark for
renewable-powered industrial applications across hard-to-abate sectors.
The pilot also serves as a
proof of concept ahead of ANIL’s upcoming Green Hydrogen Hub in Mundra, Gujarat
— a key project that will contribute significantly to India’s low-carbon
future. Green hydrogen is expected to play a vital role in decarbonising
sectors such as fertilisers, refining and heavy transport — and in achieving
global net-zero targets.
The initiative is aligned
with the National Green Hydrogen Mission (NGHM), a flagship Government of India
program that aims to reduce import dependence, enhance energy self-sufficiency
and accelerate the decarbonisation of energy-intensive industries — all in
fulfilment of India’s Atmanirbhar Bharat vision.
