In a landmark move aligned with India’s energy transition goals, L&T Energy GreenTech Ltd (LTEG), a wholly owned subsidiary of Larsen & Toubro (L&T), has unveiled plans to build the country’s first and largest green hydrogen plant.
This initiative will be developed at Indian Oil Corporation’s Panipat refinery in Haryana and marks a pivotal step toward clean industrial processes and decarbonisation.
L&T Energy GreenTech will build and operate the hydrogen facility under a long-term 25-year contract, supplying 10,000 tonnes of green hydrogen annually to IOCL. The project will be executed on a build-own-operate model, supporting the Government of India’s National Green Hydrogen Mission.
The green hydrogen plant will operate continuously using renewable energy, aligning with IOCL’s decarbonisation strategy. By adopting this approach, the initiative contributes directly to India’s net-zero ambitions, ensuring cleaner refining processes.
The green hydrogen will be produced using high-pressure alkaline electrolysers manufactured at L&T Electrolysers Ltd’s facility in Hazira, Gujarat. This move underscores L&T’s commitment to indigenous manufacturing and the government’s Aatmanirbhar Bharat vision.

Subramaniam Sarma, Deputy Managing Director and President at L&T, stated that this project reaffirms L&T’s leadership in India’s energy transition. He noted that the development strengthens their partnership with IOCL while showcasing L&T’s capability to deliver large-scale clean energy infrastructure.
Derek Shah, Head of Green Manufacturing & Development at L&T, highlighted the end-to-end capabilities being brought to the table from electrolyser production to plant execution and operations. He also emphasised the role of Indian-made technology in achieving long-term decarbonisation.
L&T Energy GreenTech is dedicated to sustainable energy solutions, specialising in green hydrogen, its derivatives, and electrolyser manufacturing. With a presence across development, manufacturing, and EPC, the company offers integrated solutions through technology, partnerships, and research.
On July 21, 2025, at 11:36 AM, L&T share price was trading at ₹3,487.60, a 0.66% increase.
This project positions LTEG as a first mover in India’s green hydrogen ecosystem, with the potential to influence adoption across sectors such as fertilisers, refineries, and other hard-to-abate industries. It sets a benchmark for future clean-tech initiatives and adds to India’s momentum toward sustainable industrial growth.
