Group Surya's subsidiary, Surya International, has been awarded the EPC package for a solar-hydrogen-BESS based 200 kW microgrid in Chushul, Ladakh. This project, tendered by NTPC REL, in collaboration with the Indian Army, is a significant advancement in utilizing green hydrogen for continuous power supply in off-grid defense locations under extreme climatic conditions. The microgrid is designed to operate round-the-clock, eliminating the need for diesel generators and cutting carbon emissions by 1,500 tons annually. With a value of INR 102 crore, the system will provide 200 kW/hour of power throughout the year, even in temperatures as low as -30°C and at an altitude of 4,400 meters. This initiative marks Surya International's third hydrogen project, following their work on a hydrogen mobility station in Himachal Pradesh and an alkaline hydrogen electrolyzer project in Bangalore. The company's dedication to sustainable energy solutions underscores the transition towards cleaner and self-sustaining energy ecosystems in India.
