India's Union Minister of Ports, Shipping & Waterways, Sarbananda Sonowal, virtually flagged off electrolysers for the upcoming 1 MW Green Hydrogen Plant at Deendayal Port Authority (DPA) in Kandla port on March 18. The event marked a crucial step in DPA Kandla's journey to become India's primary Green Hydrogen hub. With a focus on indigenous technology, the electrolysers, manufactured by L&T under the 'Make-in-India' initiative, will power the plant set to be operational by July 2025. This initiative will see the production of 18 kg of hydrogen per hour, positioning it as India's pioneering port-based plant using local electrolysers. Additionally, DPA plans to venture into Green Ammonia production to support India's Net Zero objectives. The aim is to establish a 1 MW Green Hydrogen Plant at the port, with ambitions to expand it to a 10 MW operation in the future. The ceremony was graced by key dignitaries, including the Secretary of the Ministry of Ports, Shipping and Waterways, and the Chairman of DPA, who flagged off the electrolysers from L&T's Hazira facility, signifying a significant stride towards sustainable port operations and decarbonization in India.
