In a landmark step towards building sustainable and future-ready port infrastructure, Deendayal Port Authority (DPA), Kandla has signed an agreement with Oswal Greenzo Energies for the design, supply, installation, testing and commissioning of a 5 MW Green Hydrogen Plant at the port.
The pioneering project positions DPA, Kandla at the forefront of maritime decarbonisation in India and aligns closely with the Make-in-India, Make-for-the-World vision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. It also supports the objectives of the National Green Hydrogen Mission, reinforcing India’s push towards clean energy leadership.
Once operational, the plant is expected to produce around 840 metric tonnes of green hydrogen annually, enabling the adoption of clean fuel across port operations, mobility solutions and allied logistics activities. The initiative is expected to significantly reduce carbon emissions in the maritime, transport and logistics sectors, while accelerating the large-scale use of renewable energy at ports.
Speaking on the occasion, Shri Sushil Kumar Singh, Chairman, Deendayal Port Authority, said the agreement marks a historic milestone for both the port and India’s maritime sector.
This project reflects our strong commitment to the Hon’ble Prime Minister’s vision of Viksit Bharat and Atmanirbhar Bharat, while positioning Kandla as a frontrunner in green and sustainable port development. Through this initiative, DPA is taking a decisive step towards decarbonisation, clean mobility and a greener maritime future,” he said.
Commenting on the development, Mr. Ratan Bokadia, Managing Director, Oswal Energies Limited, said being part of India’s first port-led green hydrogen project is a proud moment for the company and a strong endorsement of its technical expertise and execution capabilities in advanced hydrogen systems. He reaffirmed the company’s commitment to delivering the project to global standards while supporting India’s clean energy transition.
The project underscores DPA, Kandla’s focus on advanced technologies, renewable energy integration and innovation-driven solutions, strengthening its role as a catalyst in India’s transition towards a low-carbon, sustainable and globally competitive maritime ecosystem.
