Adani New Industries Limited (ANIL) announced the successful commissioning of India’s first off-grid 5-MW green H2 pilot plant in Kutch, Gujarat, marking a major milestone in the nation’s clean 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 H2 production.
The ANIL pilot plant is India’s first off-grid 5-MW green H2 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 H2 economy. It supports India’s ambition to become a global hub for green H2 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 H2 hub in Mundra, Gujarat—a key project that will contribute significantly to India’s low-carbon future. Green H2 is expected to play a vital role in decarbonizing sectors such as fertilizers, refining and heavy transport—and in achieving global net-zero targets.
The initiative is aligned with the National Green H2 Mission (NGHM), a flagship Government of India program that aims to reduce import dependence, enhance energy self-sufficiency and accelerate the decarbonization of energy-intensive industries—all in fulfilment of India’s Atmanirbhar Bharat vision.
