Larsen & Toubro’s green energy arm, L&T Energy GreenTech Ltd (LTEG), is set to build India’s largest green hydrogen plant at Indian Oil’s Panipat Refinery in Haryana. The project will be developed on a build-own-operate (BOO) model and will supply 10,000 tonnes of green hydrogen annually to IOCL for the next 25 years.
The plant will run entirely on renewable energy and support the Government of India’s National Green Hydrogen Mission. Hydrogen will be produced using advanced high-pressure alkaline electrolysers, made by L&T Electrolysers at their Hazira facility in Gujarat.
Subramaniam Sarma, Deputy Managing Director & President, L&T, stated, “The decision to set up India’s maiden green hydrogen plant validates our strategy to lead the nation’s energy transition. This long-term project not only deepens our partnership with IOCL but also reinforces our capability to deliver large-scale clean energy solutions. As a first mover in India’s green hydrogen space, we are proud to lay the foundation for cleaner industrial processes at scale.”
This marks a major step in India’s green energy shift, and positions L&T at the forefront of clean, large-scale hydrogen infrastructure. The move also supports IOCL’s strategy to cut carbon emissions from its refinery operations and contributes to India’s broader net-zero goals.
