India is rapidly emerging as a leading player in the global green hydrogen landscape, and a key catalyst for this growth is the development of domestic electrolyser manufacturing capabilities. Electrolysers, which use renewable energy to split water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen, play an essential role in producing green hydrogen. As India pursues its ambitious clean energy goals, local manufacturing has become increasingly crucial.
The National Green Hydrogen Mission, launched in 2023, aims to position India as a global hub for green hydrogen production, targeting an annual output of five million tonnes by 2030. The mission places strong emphasis on promoting indigenous electrolyser manufacturing, recognising that domestic production is vital for reducing costs and making renewable hydrogen generation more viable and competitive.
Against this backdrop, Jakson Green Infinity, the electrolyser manufacturing arm of Jakson Green, achieved a significant milestone in 2024 with the successful shipment of its first consignment of 3.8 MW electrolysers.
These units will be deployed at India’s first green hydrogen refuelling station for urban mobility in the National Capital Region, led by one of the country’s foremost power generation companies. This achievement marks a watershed moment for India’s hydrogen sector and further underscores Jakson Green’s pivotal role in driving its progress.
Manufactured at the company’s state-of-the-art facility in Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh, the systems comprise an imported electrolyser stack integrated with indigenously designed and manufactured Balance of Plant components.
This approach not only enhances local value addition but also contributes to improved system integration and performance. Jakson Green Infinity is well placed to meet rising demand for electrolysers and is preparing to expand its capacity further while adopting new technologies.
Establishing domestic electrolyser manufacturing is not only a significant technological accomplishment but also an economic and strategic necessity. India’s rapid progress in scaling renewable energy capacity stands to benefit greatly from the integration of electrolyser gigafactories into the national clean energy ecosystem. As global interest in green hydrogen intensifies, ‘Made-in-India’ electrolysers will play a decisive role in enabling affordable and reliable production of this crucial fuel. Supported by Jakson Green Infinity’s manufacturing strength and the government’s policy-led innovation framework, India is firmly on track to establishing itself as a major player in the global hydrogen economy.
