In a significant stride toward sustainable energy, Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL), Larsen and Toubro (L&T), Greenko Group, and Welspun New Energy are gearing up to establish facilities for green hydrogen and ammonia production at Deendayal Port Authority (DPA) in Kandla, Gujarat. This collaborative effort, drawing an expected investment of up to ₹1 Lakh Crore, is slated to become one of India’s landmark projects in the energy sector. Sources familiar with the development, highlighted the ambitious scale and potential impact of this venture.
The initiative targets the production of 7 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) of green ammonia and 1.4 MTPA of green hydrogen, employing the clean method of water electrolysis powered by renewable energy. This method produces zero greenhouse gas emissions, marking a critical step forward in the global transition to sustainable energy solutions.
The official announcement of this green initiative is poised for June, post-elections. This project not only reflects the involved corporations’ commitment to environmental sustainability but also positions the DPA, located in the Gulf of Kutch, as a strategic center in India’s journey toward green energy adoption.
