Under the visionary leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, we are driving advanced green energy initiatives, reaffirming our commitment to decarbonising the maritime sector and setting a national benchmark for sustainable port operations."

Key Highlights of the Initiative:

• Indigenous Technology: The electrolysers were manufactured by L&T under the "Make-in-India" initiative for a 1 MW Green Hydrogen Plant being set up at DPA, Kandla. • Production Capacity: The Green Hydrogen Plant at DPA Kandla will be operational by July 2025, producing 18 kg of hydrogen per hour, making it India's first port-based plant using indigenous electrolysers. • Expansion Plans: DPA plans to expand into Green Ammonia production, advancing India's Net Zero goals. The initiative aims to establish a port-operated 1 MW Green Hydrogen Plant, with plans to scale it up to 10 MW in the future.
