Developed by the Deendayal Port Authority (DPA), the plant is part of a broader 10 MW project aimed at boosting clean energy adoption in port infrastructure.<\/p>\n
The facility was inaugurated by Union Minister of Ports, Shipping & Waterways, Sarbananda Sonowal, who praised it as \u2018a major step towards fulfilling PM Shri Narendra Modi\u2019s 2030 vision\u2019.<\/p>\n
\u201cDPA has turned that vision into reality, a shining example of speed, scale and skill under Maritime India Vision 2030,\u201d said Sonowal.<\/p>\n
Referring to the Prime Minister\u2019s foundation stone-laying for the full 10 MW project in May 2025, Sonowal said the 1 MW module set \u2018a new benchmark for implementation in India\u2019s green hydrogen ecosystem\u2019.<\/p>\n
\u201cI appreciate the engineers of L&T and the leadership of DPA for delivering this complex project with remarkable speed and precision,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Union Minister of State for MoPSW, Shantanu Thakur, also applauded the effort, saying, \u201cThe commissioning of this green hydrogen plant at DPA highlights India\u2019s growing leadership in clean energy, innovation and self-reliance.\u201d<\/p>\n
The plant will produce around 140 tonnes of green hydrogen annually, contributing significantly to sustainable port operations.<\/p>\n
Earlier this year, Sonowal also unveiled infrastructure projects worth \u20b9570 billion (\u20ac5.63 billion) to enhance Kandla Port\u2019s capacity and operational efficiency, aiming to transform it into a hub for both dry and liquid cargo while boosting employment and reducing vessel turnaround times.<\/p>\n
