The Gensol Engineering Limited and Matrix Gas and Renewables Limited Consortium has been chosen to develop a green hydrogen valley in Pune, Maharashtra. It will be India’s first ever green hydrogen valley. The project will be developed on a build-and-operate basis and is supported by the Department of Science and Technology and National Chemicals Laboratories. They will also provide financial help of Rs 2.5 million for the project. The main objective is to supply green hydrogen to Pune’s specialty chemicals sector. This project falls under the National Green Hydrogen Mission.
In September 2024, the Gensol Engineering and Matrix Gas consortium bagged a contract to develop India’s first bio-hydrogen project. The project is worth Rs 1.64 billion and once operational, is expected to produce 1 tonne of hydrogen per day from converting 25 tons of bio-waste. In August 2024, the consortium secured the winning bid for a 237 MW hydrogen electrolyser manufacturing capacity.
