This project reinforces HFE’s commitment to driving India’s green hydrogen ecosystem, and accelerating industrial decarbonisation, while also testifying to Rockman Industries consistent focus on sustainable business operations.
This plant is considered a pioneering initiative for its unique blending of green hydrogen with PNG/LPG for an industrial furnace application-a breakthrough feat in industrial de-carbonization, setting a new benchmark for India’s energy transition.
This technology integration promises significant reductions in emissions, laying the groundwork for a scalable model that can be replicated across hard to abate industries in AP and the rest of India.
On this occasion, Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh Nara Chandrababu Naidu, said, "Congratulations to Hero Future Energies and Rockman Industries on the commissioning of this pioneering Green Hydrogen Plant at Rockman’s factory in Tirupati. Andhra Pradesh, with its strong industrial base and forward-thinking energy policies, is uniquely positioned to become a hub for green hydrogen adoption. With ample renewable energy resources and industrial demand, the state can lead the way in scaling up green hydrogen use across refineries, fertilizers, steel, mobility, and other key sectors—supporting India’s energy transition story. I commend Hero Future Energies and Rockman for choosing Andhra Pradesh for this one-of-a-kind project which opens up another pathway towards India’s energy transition. I wish them all success in this endeavour. I assure that the Government of Andhra Pradesh will extend all support to investments in clean energy projects, making use of the liberal provisions under the new ICE Policy that I announced in October 2024."
Rahul Munjal, Founder CMD, Hero Future Energies, thanked the Hon’ble Chief Minister for inaugurating the project amid his very busy schedule and said, “This plant has the unique capability of blending green hydrogen with LNG which opens the door of possibilities for industries to decarbonize their hard to abate operations. This pioneering project will give a boost to adoption of green hydrogen by industries and catalyse development of the green hydrogen eco system in India. I am grateful to Hon’ble Chief Minister for his blessings and demonstrating his commitment to innovative clean technologies for sustainable Industrial growth in AP and India.”
Ujjwal Munjal, Managing Director, Rockman Industries, stated, “We are extremely happy that the Hon’ble Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh inaugurated this green hydrogen plant, set-up in partnership with Hero Future Energies, our sister company in the Hero Group. Together, we are committed to reducing our carbon footprint and leading the way in eco-friendly innovation in the automotive component industry. Looking ahead, we aim to expand green hydrogen usage across our processes and collaborate with HFE to implement further advancements in renewable energy technologies.”
