Oswal Energies to Set Up 5 MW Green Hydrogen Plant

• Oswal Greenzo to build India's 1st port-based 5 MW H2 plant.
• At Deendayal Port, Kandla; 800+ tonnes/year output.
• Supports Sagarmala, National Green Hydrogen Mission.

Oswal Greenzo Energies, a 50:50 partnership between Oswal Energies Limited and Greenzo Energy India Limited, has won a contract to set up India's first ever port, based green hydrogen plant at Deendayal Port Kandla, Gujarat.

The agreement signed, under the Government of Indias Sagarmala initiative, entails the design, engineering, supply, installation, testing, and commissioning of a 5 MW green hydrogen plant on an EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) basis. The plant has an expansion capacity of up to 10 MW.

The facility is likely to produce about 800840 tonnes of green hydrogen per annum once it is up and running. This clean energy is going to power the port's operations and the mobility sector, thus allowing green hydrogen integration into maritime logistics, transport systems, and essential infrastructure. The project is in line with India’s National Green Hydrogen Mission which sets the goal for the maritime and logistics sectors to be decarbonized together with the promotion of clean energy solutions.

Ratan Bokadia, Managing Director of Oswal Energies, referred to the agreement as "a proof of the company's technical and engineering prowess, and it has also confirmed the company's commitment to meeting global project standards." Kushal Agarwal, Executive Director of Greenzo Energy India, said that "Ports being major centers of industry, logistics, and energy consumption, this installation showcases scalable, commercially viable hydrogen solutions for the basic infrastructure."

The JV highlighted its knowledge of hydrogen technologies along with renewable energy integration, positioning this endeavor as a landmark for domestic engineering firms in the green hydrogen space. It is a testament to India's determination to switch to clean energy, especially in areas with a high environmental impact such as ports and supply chains.
