Statcon Energiaa Pvt. Ltd. bagged a major order from L&T Electrolysers Limited to supply
high-power rectifiers for Indian Oil Corporation Limited’s (IOCL) upcoming 10 kilo tonnes per annum (KTPA) green hydrogen plant at the Panipat Refinery. Scheduled for commissioning by December 2027, the project will be India’s largest green hydrogen production facility and represents a significant milestone in the country’s clean energy transition. The development also supports India’s ambitious target of producing 350 KTPA of green hydrogen by 2030 under the National Green Hydrogen Mission.
Supporting India’s Green Hydrogen Vision
The Panipat project reinforces India’s commitment to building a domestic green hydrogen ecosystem while advancing the Government’s ‘Make in India’ initiative. Notably, the electrolysers for the project are being manufactured in India by L&T Electrolysers, further strengthening indigenous manufacturing capabilities in the emerging hydrogen economy. As part of the project, Statcon Energiaa will supply advanced 4 MW rectifier blocks, which play a critical role in converting electrical power required for efficient electrolyser operation and hydrogen production.
Advanced Rectifier Technology Enhances Electrolyser Performance
The rectifiers supplied by Statcon incorporate Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT) chopper technology, ensuring high efficiency, operational reliability and robust performance. Designed under an exclusive agreement with AEG Power Solutions, a global leader in industrial power conversion technologies, the rectifier systems are engineered to meet the demanding requirements of large-scale green hydrogen production. The advanced power conversion systems are designed to ensure stable electrolyser performance, maximize energy efficiency and improve overall hydrogen production reliability.
Strengthening Domestic Manufacturing Capabilities
The project showcases India’s growing capability to manufacture critical green hydrogen infrastructure domestically. With L&T producing the electrolysers and Statcon supplying the power conversion systems, the project demonstrates how Indian companies are building an integrated value chain for green hydrogen technologies. The initiative also aligns with the Government’s broader objective of reducing dependence on imported clean energy equipment while strengthening indigenous manufacturing.
Statcon Highlights Commitment to ‘Make in India’
Anil Dhar, Marketing Director, Statcon Energiaa Pvt. Ltd., said, “This order represents exactly what Statcon Energiaa has always stood for—delivering world-class technology, made in India, for India’s most critical infrastructure. L&T Electrolysers’ qualification process is among the most demanding we have encountered. Meeting every parameter—power quality, efficiency, harmonic performance, output stability and reliability—reflects the maturity our technology and manufacturing have reached against rigorous global standards.”
He further added, “What makes this especially meaningful is the symmetry of the project: L&T is building the 4 MW electrolyser block, while we are building the 4 MW rectifier block that powers it. Both are Indian-made. For a company that has believed in ‘Make in India’ since before it became a national policy, this is a proud moment. India is not just consuming green hydrogen infrastructure—it is building it. For Statcon Energiaa, the opportunity to power a project of such national significance is both a privilege and a responsibility.”
Accelerating India’s Green Hydrogen Ecosystem
The order marks another important step in India’s journey toward becoming a global hub for green hydrogen production. By combining indigenous electrolyser manufacturing with advanced locally developed power conversion technologies, the IOCL Panipat project highlights the growing strength of India’s clean energy manufacturing ecosystem. As reported by manufacturingtodayindia.com, as the country scales up investments under the National Green Hydrogen Mission, projects such as this are expected to play a pivotal role in reducing carbon emissions, enhancing energy security and establishing India as a leader in the global green hydrogen economy.
