India’s first indigenously developed megawatt-scale green hydrogen plant has been inaugurated at Deendayal Port Authority (DPA), Kandla.
The 1 MW facility was launched on 30 July 2025 by the Union Minister for Ports, Shipping and Waterways.
This marks the first operational megawatt-scale green hydrogen plant in an Indian port. It is designed to produce approximately 140 metric tonnes of green hydrogen per year and is part of a larger 10 MW project whose foundation was laid earlier in May 2025.
According to the Ministry of Ports, the project will support maritime decarbonisation and cleaner port operations.
