JSW Energy commissions green hydrogen plant
Change
JSW Energy commissioned its first green hydrogen manufacturing plant in Vijayanagar, Karnataka, identified as the largest in India.
Why it matters
The plant is sited next to a DRI steel facility in Vijayanagar, Karnataka and supplies green hydrogen directly to that unit. A seven‑year offtake agreement specifies 3,800 tonnes per annum (TPA) of green hydrogen and 30,000 TPA of green oxygen. The project is allocated under the SIGHT program with a 6,800 TPA hydrogen allocation and falls under Production Linked Incentive Scheme Tranche I. A Memorandum of Understanding commits to scale supply to 85,000–90,000 TPA hydrogen and 720,000 TPA oxygen by 2030. JSW Energy reports corporate targets including 30 GW generation and 40 GWh storage capacity by FY2030 and carbon neutrality by 2050.
Implications
- • A seven‑year contractual obligation to deliver 3,800 TPA hydrogen and 30,000 TPA oxygen to a DRI unit.
- • Production output is accounted under a 6,800 TPA SIGHT allocation, reducing that allocation's availability for other projects.
