Electric power company Adani Energy Solutions has won a Rs2,800 Cr ($324m) transmission project to power a green hydrogen and green ammonia manufacturing facility in its home state of Gujarat.
The project, due to be delivered within three years, will supply green electrons for the production of both gases in Mundra.
It involves upgrading the Navinal electrical substation by adding two large 765/400kV transformers and building a 75km 765kV double-circuit line to connect the substation to the Bhuj substation.
The project will add 150 circuit kilometres of transmission lines and 3,000 MVA of transformation capacity to the company’s portfolio.
India is targeting five million tonnes of green hydrogen annually by 2030.
The Indian government recently awarded three-year subsidy payments to nine companies for green hydrogen production projects, with AM Green Ammonia and Waaree Clean Energy Solutions emerging as the biggest recipients.
India has allocated ₹22.39bn crores ($258.84m) to support 450,000 tonnes per year of green hydrogen production – the maximum allowable under the country’s Strategic Interventions for Green Hydrogen Transition (SIGHT) Programme.
