Advait Greenergy, a subsidiary of Advait Energy Transitions, has inaugurated a 30 MW alkaline electrolyzer assembly facility in Mehsana, Gujarat.

The facility has been designed as a scalable manufacturing platform and can be expanded from its initial 30 MW of electrolyzer manufacturing capacity to 100 MW by 2027. The company aims to eventually expand the facility’s annual electrolyzer manufacturing capacity to 1 GW.

The facility’s phased expansion is aimed at supporting expected growth in green hydrogen demand across industrial sectors such as fertilizers, refining, steel manufacturing, and heavy transport.

Advait Greenergy was selected under the Solar Energy Corporation of India’s (SECI) Production Linked Incentive program for 300 MW electrolyzer manufacturing capacity, along with participation in a 100 MW green hydrogen project component.

The company has over 400 MWh of battery energy storage projects under construction. It is also setting up a 2.5 GWh battery storage manufacturing facility, which is expected to be commissioned in 2026.

In August 2024, Advait Energy Transitions, then Advait Infratech, was among the winners of SECI’s auction to set up 1.5 GW of electrolyzer manufacturing capacities across India. The company secured 200 MW under the Bucket 1 category.

In the same year, Advait was among the winners of SECI’s auction to set up 1.5 GW of electrolyzer manufacturing capacities across India. The company secured 100 MW with an incentive allocation of ₹1.48 billion (~$17.87 million).

The Union Cabinet approved the National Green Hydrogen Mission in 2023 to facilitate demand creation, production, utilization, and export of green hydrogen with an initial outlay of ₹197.44 billion (~$2.3 billion). The largest portion of the funding, ₹174.9 billion (~$2.1 billion), is earmarked for the Strategic Interventions for Green Hydrogen Transition (SIGHT) program.

Under the SIGHT program, separate financial incentives for the domestic manufacturing of electrolyzers and the production of green hydrogen would be provided, the government said in a statement.

The mission seeks to promote the development of green hydrogen production capacity of 5 million tons per year with an associated renewable energy capacity addition of about 125 GW in the country by 2030. To achieve this, 60 GW to 100 GW of electrolyzer capacity will be installed.
