Larsen & Toubro (L&T) has installed its first indigenously produced electrolyser at the Green Hydrogen Plant at the A M Naik Heavy Engineering Complex in Hazira, Gujarat. This milestone represents L&T Electrolysers Limited's entry into residential electrolyser manufacturing, which aligns with the company's focus on improving sustainable energy solutions.
The electrolyser can produce 200 Nm3/Hr of hydrogen, with a rated power capacity of 1 MW, scalable to 2 MW. It has an Electrolyser Processing Unit (EPU) ML-400 and two stacks designed and assembled in India following international standards. In the coming weeks, a lot of testing will be conducted to improve its functionality and permit large-scale manufacturing.
L&T Electrolysers Limited, an entity formed under L&T, specialises in producing pressurised alkaline electrolysers, incorporating technology from McPhy Energy, France. The company has managed the entire engineering to the manufacturing process, collaborating with Indian vendors and suppliers and reinforcing the "Make in India" initiative.
With plans to utilize its giga-scale facility in Hazira, L&T Electrolysers aims to meet the increasing demand for green hydrogen, emphasizing product localization, supply chain enhancement, and automation to achieve cost-competitiveness. This initiative is set to contribute significantly to India's green hydrogen ecosystem.
Subramanian Sarma, Whole-time Director & Sr EVP (Energy), L&T said: “The indigenously manufactured electrolyser marks a transformative leap towards clean energy, positioning us to lead not only in the domestic market but also globally. This advancement significantly bolsters our offerings across the value chain, showcasing L&T as a global force in the clean energy space”.
Derek M Shah, Sr VP & Head – Green Energy Business, L&T, said: “Our commitment to localisation in this project goes beyond mere cost-efficiency. It empowers the Indian supply chain, creates exciting opportunities for skilled professionals, and aligns perfectly with the vision of 'Aatmanirbhar Bharat”.
L&T Electrolysers has been allocated a significant 300 MW/annum capacity under the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) of the National Green Hydrogen Mission, launched by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) and implemented by the Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI). This allocation underscores L&T Electrolysers’ potential to emerge as a key player in electrolyser manufacturing.
