Larsen & Toubro’s subsidiary, L&T Energy GreenTech (LTEG), has announced plans to build India’s largest green hydrogen plant at Indian Oil Corporation Ltd’s (IOCL) Panipat refinery in Haryana. The plant will be developed on a build-own-operate (BOO) basis and will supply 10,000 tonnes of green hydrogen annually to IOCL for the next 25 years. This long-term partnership is expected to help IOCL decarbonise its refining operations and contribute to India’s net-zero goals.
L&T bets on local manufacturing to drive green hydrogen mission
Operating round the clock, the plant will use renewable energy to produce green hydrogen. The production process will rely on high-pressure alkaline electrolysers made at L&T Electrolysers Ltd’s state-of-the-art facility in Hazira, Gujarat.
The project supports the government’s Aatmanirbhar Bharat mission by using indigenously manufactured electrolysers and is a major step in India’s clean energy journey under the National Green Hydrogen Mission. It strengthens the vision of self-reliant clean-tech solutions and long-term decarbonisation.
Derek Shah, Head – Green Manufacturing & Development, L&T, added, “With cutting-edge technology and a skilled team, we are confident of delivering a high-performance, zero-emission plant that sets new industry benchmarks.”
LTEG emerges as a pioneer in India’s green hydrogen ecosystem
With this milestone, LTEG becomes a pioneer in India’s green hydrogen sector, setting a benchmark for industrial-scale green hydrogen adoption across hard-to-abate sectors such as refineries and fertiliser plants.
L&T Energy GreenTech focuses on sustainable energy solutions including green hydrogen, its derivatives, and electrolyser manufacturing. Built around three core pillars — Development, Manufacturing, and EPC — LTEG delivers integrated green energy solutions through technology, partnerships, and R&D.
L&T won IOCL’s first green hydrogen tender
L&T Energy GreenTech secured Indian Oil Corporation’s first green hydrogen tender, on May 14, marking a strategic breakthrough in the public sector’s clean energy procurement. The contract, was awarded through a competitive bidding process, reinforces L&T’s position as a front-runner in India’s green hydrogen landscape.
