Advait Greenergy Private Limited has inaugurated its Phase I alkaline electrolyser assembly facility with an initial capacity of 30 MW in Mehsana on March 13, 2026. The new facility represents the first step in the company’s plan to build an integrated manufacturing platform for electrolyser systems, which play a crucial role in green hydrogen production.
Roadmap to 300 MW Integrated Manufacturing Capacity
The Phase I plant forms part of a broader expansion strategy aimed at establishing 300 MW of electrolyser manufacturing capacity. Initially, the company plans to scale the facility from 30 MW to 100 MW under Phase II, before developing a fully automated 300 MW manufacturing complex designed for industrial-scale hydrogen production. By adopting a modular and scalable design, the facility will allow Advait Greenergy to expand production capacity in response to rising demand for hydrogen technologies.
Supporting Growing Green Hydrogen Demand
The electrolyser assembly unit has been designed to serve multiple sectors where hydrogen is expected to play a major role in decarbonization. These sectors include fertilizers, petroleum refining, steel manufacturing, and heavy transportation. Looking ahead, the company has indicated plans to expand annual electrolyser manufacturing capacity to 100 MW by 2027. In the longer term, it may further scale production to as much as 1 GW, reflecting the expected growth of the green hydrogen market in India.
Participation in SECI’s Electrolyser Manufacturing Programme
The project is also linked to national initiatives aimed at strengthening domestic electrolyser manufacturing capabilities. Notably, Advait Greenergy has been selected under the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) programme administered by the Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI). Under the programme, the company secured 300 MW of electrolyser manufacturing capacity, along with participation in a 100 MW green hydrogen project component.
In addition, its parent company, Advait Energy Transitions Limited (formerly Advait Infratech Limited), was among the successful bidders in SECI’s August 2024 auction to establish 1.5 GW of electrolyser manufacturing capacity across India. The company secured 200 MW under the Bucket 1 category and an additional 100 MW capacity with an incentive allocation of ₹1.48 billion.
Expansion into Battery Energy Storage
Alongside electrolyser manufacturing, Advait Energy Transitions is also expanding into battery energy storage solutions. The company currently has over 400 MWh of battery energy storage systems (BESS) under construction. To support this growth, it is establishing a battery storage manufacturing facility with a planned capacity of 2.5 GWh, which is expected to be commissioned in 2026.
Alignment with India’s National Green Hydrogen Mission
The electrolyser facility supports India’s broader efforts to build a robust green hydrogen ecosystem under the National Green Hydrogen Mission. The mission, approved by the Union Cabinet of India in 2023, involves an initial outlay of ₹197.44 billion to promote the production, utilization, and export of green hydrogen.
A significant portion—₹174.9 billion—has been allocated to the Strategic Interventions for Green Hydrogen Transition (SIGHT) initiative. This program provides financial incentives to support domestic electrolyser manufacturing and green hydrogen production.
As reported by machinist.in, under the mission, India aims to achieve green hydrogen production capacity of 5 million tons per year by 2030. This target will be supported by approximately 125 GW of renewable energy capacity and the deployment of 60–100 GW of electrolyser capacity across the country.
