IOCL to Establish India’s Largest Green Hydrogen Facility in Panipat.

Economy Business

In May 2025, New Delhi-based Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL) finalized the Levelized Cost of Hydrogen (LCOH) for setting up India’s largest Green Hydrogen Generation Unit at its Panipat Refinery & Petrochemical Complex in Panipat, Haryana.


      - This landmark project marks IOCL’s major foray into the green hydrogen sector, aligning with India’s long-term vision of decarbonization and energy self-reliance.

      - The upcoming facility will have a production capacity of 10,000 Tonnes Per Annum (TPA) and is scheduled for commissioning by December 2027.

     

Main Point :-   (i) The green hydrogen produced will replace fossil-fuel-based hydrogen currently utilized in IOCL’s refinery operations, significantly reducing carbon emissions.

      (ii) This initiative directly supports the objectives of the National Green Hydrogen Mission (NGHM) and reinforces IOCL’s commitment to achieving net-zero operational emissions by 2046.

(iii) L&T Energy Green Tech Limited, a Mumbai-based subsidiary of Larsen & Toubro (L&T), has been awarded the contract to construct the plant on a Build-Own-Operate (BOO) model for a 25-year period.
