Kandla Port to start green hydrogen manufacturing in June 2025

Gujarat’s Kandla port is set to become the first port in the country to have an operational Green Hydrogen plant, using indigenous Electrolysers, within the Port limits. A Shipping Ministry statement said the port aims to start green hydrogen production in the second half of calendar year 2025.

An official statement said a 1-Megawatt (MW) electrolyser has been manufactured by L&T for this project which will subsequently be scaled up to 10 MW capacity.

“The Green Hydrogen Plant is targeted to be fully operational by July 2025, with an estimated production capacity of 18 kg of Green Hydrogen per hour, translating to approximately 80-90 tonnes per year,” the statement said while adding that site work is already completed at Kandla and the electrolysers will soon be assembled on-site to kickstart operations.


The Green Hydrogen produced by the facility will be utilized to generate clean energy through Fuel Cells, paving the way for self-sustaining and eco-friendly power solutions at the port.

Deendayal Port Authority (DPA), Kandla also plans to integrate Green Ammonia production by incorporating the necessary modules into the plant.
