Larsen & Toubro (L&T) has secured land in Kandla, Gujarat, to set up facilities for producing green hydrogen and green ammonia, marking a key step in its clean energy strategy. The central government continues to push for green hydrogen adoption through initiatives like the National Green Hydrogen Mission and pilot programs exploring its use in sectors such as transportation.
Speaking to shareholders, L&T Chairman and Managing Director SN Subrahmanyan highlighted the company’s progress in emerging clean energy technologies, including green hydrogen and small modular reactors (SMRs). He noted that electrolyser production is already underway, positioning the company at the forefront of the green hydrogen space.
“A major milestone was receiving regulatory clearance from the U.S. Department of Energy to bring SMR technology to India,” Mr Subrahmanyan said. “L&T is one of only three Indian companies approved for this transfer, marking the beginning of our efforts to advance nuclear energy solutions in the country.”
He added that while current projects involve global partnerships, L&T’s long-term focus is on developing in-house technology, manufacturing critical components, and delivering affordable, innovative solutions designed for developing economies. In addition to setting up green hydrogen and ammonia plants in Kandla, L&T is also equipped to handle engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) projects globally in green hydrogen, ammonia, and methanol.
Previously, the company had announced the formation of L&T Green Energy Kandla Pvt Ltd to spearhead these initiatives. Green hydrogen is produced by splitting water using electricity generated from renewable sources, offering a zero-emission alternative to fossil fuels.
