Inaugurated by Union Minister Sarbananda Sonowal, the project highlights India’s progress in green port infrastructure. Built in just four months, this plant is the first module of a larger 10 Megawatt Green Hydrogen project announced by the Prime Minister in May 2025.
With an annual production capacity of 140 metric tonnes of green hydrogen, the facility marks a key milestone in India’s Net Zero journey. Deendayal Port becomes the first Indian port to operationalize a megawatt-scale green hydrogen plant.
Developed entirely by Indian engineers, the plant sets a benchmark for Aatmanirbhar Bharat in the clean energy sector.
The initiative follows DPA’s earlier green success – the launch of India’s first Make-in-India electric Green Tug. This cutting-edge facility also strengthens India’s leadership in sustainable maritime operations.
