Adani New Industries Limited (ANIL) on Monday announced the successful commissioning of India's first off-grid 5 MW Green Hydrogen Pilot Plant in Kutch, Gujarat. The plant is 100% green-powered by solar energy and integrated with a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), enabling it to operate completely off-grid, as per a company statement. This represents a new paradigm in decentralised, renewable-powered hydrogen production.
The ANIL pilot plant is India's first off-grid 5 MW green hydrogen facility featuring a fully automated, closed-loop electrolyser system designed to respond dynamically to real-time renewable energy inputs. This provides valuable operational flexibility, particularly in addressing solar power's variability, while ensuring efficiency, safety, and performance.

The pilot also serves as a proof of concept ahead of ANIL's upcoming Green Hydrogen Hub in Mundra, Gujarat, a key project that will contribute significantly to India's low-carbon future. Green hydrogen is expected to play a vital role in decarbonising sectors such as fertilisers, refining and heavy transport and in achieving global net-zero targets.
What Else For Adani Group?
The initiative is aligned with the National Green Hydrogen Mission (NGHM), a flagship Government of India program that aims to reduce import dependence, enhance energy self-sufficiency and accelerate the decarbonisation of energy-intensive industries, all in fulfilment of India's Atmanirbhar Bharat vision.
ANIL is developing large-scale production facilities for Green Hydrogen and its derivatives through an integrated end-to-end ecosystem. Furthermore, this includes producing Green Hydrogen and its derivative products, such as Green Ammonia, Green Methanol, Sustainable Aviation Fuel, and manufacturing Solar Cells, Ingots & Wafers, Solar Modules, Wind Turbine Generators, and Electrolysers at Mundra, Gujarat, to meet the demand across diverse sectors in both domestic and international markets.
