Kandla Port to Commence Green Hydrogen Production by July 2025
Kandla port is set to become India’s first to host an operational green hydrogen plant using indigenous electrolysers manufactured by L&T, with a 1 MW facility at Deendayal Port Authority which will be operational by July 2025. It is expected to produce 18 kg of hydrogen per hour.

The electrolysers for the 1 MW green hydrogen plant were manufactured by L&T under the ‘Make-in-India’ initiative manufactured by L&T under the ‘Make-in-India’ initiative. This will subsequently be scaled up to 10 MW in the future. There are also plans to expand into green ammonia production.
Union Minister of Ports, Shipping and Waterways, Sarbananda Sonowal, virtually flagged off electrolysers for the upcoming green hydrogen plant at DPA in Kandla port.
Speaking on the occasion, Sonowal said, “This flagging-off marks a key milestone in DPA Kandla's mission to emerge as India's leading Green Hydrogen hub. Under the visionary leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, we are driving advanced green energy initiatives, reaffirming our commitment to decarbonising the maritime sector and setting a national benchmark for sustainable port operations.”
The flag-off ceremony was attended by T.K. Ramachandran, Secretary, Ministry of Ports, Shipping and Waterways; Sushil Kumar Singh, IRSME, Chairman, DPA; and Derek M. Shah, Senior Vice President and Head, L&T Green Energy. The electrolysers were flagged off from L&T's Hazira manufacturing facility.
