Adani New Industries Limited (ANIL) has successfully commissioned India’s first off-grid 5 MW green hydrogen pilot plant in Kutch, Gujarat, marking a significant milestone in the country’s clean energy transition and hydrogen leadership.
Powered entirely by solar energy and integrated with a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), the state-of-the-art facility operates fully off-grid. This decentralized model of renewable hydrogen production represents a new benchmark in green hydrogen innovation, particularly for remote or industrial applications.
At the core of the pilot is a fully automated, closed-loop electrolyzer system designed to dynamically respond to fluctuating solar inputs. This real-time responsiveness enhances operational efficiency and reliability, while maintaining robust safety and performance standards — critical for scaling renewable-powered hydrogen in challenging conditions.
The project underscores the Adani Group’s strategic focus on sustainability, innovation, and decarbonisation. It also reinforces India’s vision of becoming a global green hydrogen hub, especially in hard-to-abate sectors like fertilizers, refining, and heavy transport — key industries on the path to net zero.
Serving as a proof of concept for ANIL’s upcoming Green Hydrogen Hub in Mundra, the pilot offers critical learnings for the scale-up of low-emission hydrogen technologies. The Mundra project is poised to play a major role in delivering on India’s National Green Hydrogen Mission (NGHM), which targets energy independence, reduced import reliance, and accelerated decarbonisation of the country’s industrial base.
This milestone aligns with India’s Atmanirbhar Bharat (self-reliant India) vision, supporting the creation of a domestic green hydrogen ecosystem that boosts economic growth, energy security, and environmental stewardship.
