IOCL to get 10,000 tonnes of green hydrogen via largest green hydrogen plant of L&T
L&T Energy GreenTech will build and operate India's largest green hydrogen plant for IOCL's Panipat Refinery, supplying 10,000 tonnes annually for 25 years. This landmark project, utilizing indigenous electrolysers, is crucial for IOCL's decarbonization and India's National Green Hydrogen Mission.
New Delhi: A wholly-owned subsidiary of Larsen & Toubro (L&T), L&T Energy GreenTech Ltd, will set up India’s first largest green hydrogen plant at Indian Oil Corporation Ltd’s (IOCL) Panipat Refinery in Haryana. The plant, which will be developed on a build-own-operate (BOO) basis, would supply 10,000 tonnes of green hydrogen annually to IOCL for 25 years, supporting the Government of India’s National Green Hydrogen Mission.

This plant establishment is in line with the IOCL’s broader strategy to decarbonise its refining operations and contribute to India’s net-zero ambitions and would produce green hydrogen using high-pressure alkaline electrolysers manufactured at L&T Electrolysers Ltd’s state-of-the-art facility in Hazira, Gujarat.
With this, a significant milestone in India’s energy transition has been achieved and reinforces L&T’s leadership in delivering sustainable, scalable clean energy infrastructure.
