Larsen and Toubro shares surged 1% after the company achieved a significant milestone in commissioning its first indigenously manufactured electrolyser at the Green Hydrogen Plant in the A M Naik Heavy Engineering Complex, located in Hazira, Gujarat.
This achievement marks a significant milestone for L&T in the clean energy space. With a rated power capacity of 1 MW (expandable to 2 MW), this electrolyser is capable of producing 200 Nm3/Hr of Hydrogen.
The electrolyser consists of two stacks and an Electrolyser Processing Unit (EPU) ML-400, which is indigenously manufactured and assembled, adhering to the latest international standards. It offers exceptional flexibility and thermal stability.
Despite this significant success, the electrolyser is yet to undergo formal testing procedures. According to reports, testing is scheduled to take place in the coming weeks to optimize its performance, paving the way for full-fledged manufacturing of electrolysers.
“This advancement significantly bolsters our offerings across the value chain, showcasing L&T as a global force in the clean energy space,” – Subramanian Sarma, the whole-time director and senior EVP (Energy) at L&T.
Derek M Shah, the senior VP and head of the green energy business at L&T said – “It empowers the Indian supply chain, creates exciting opportunities for skilled professionals, and aligns perfectly with the vision of ‘Aatmanirbhar Bharat’.”
