May 05, 2025 [H2 View]- Indian state-owned oil and gas company Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL) has commissioned a 5MW green hydrogen plant at the Bina Refinery in Madhya Pradesh.
Representing the company’s first and one of India’s largest operational hydrogen production projects, the facility is expected to produce over 780 tonnes of hydrogen per year.
While details on the initiative are thin, H2 View understands that the plant has been equipped with two 500Nm3 /hr electrolysers. Additionally, the facility was constructed and the electrolysers installed in approximately 15 months
While the project marks a step in BPCL’s mission to achieve Net Zero in Scope 1&2 emissions by 2040, the company has stated it also “reaffirms its commitment to the National Green Hydrogen Mission,” and India’s Net Zero 2070 targets.
The Indian government has taken a proactive role in advancing the hydrogen industry, attracting significant investments from major industrial players.
Last January, NTPC Green Energy announced plans for a $22.3bn green hydrogen hub in Andhra Pradesh, capable of producing 1,500 tonnes of green hydrogen and 7,500 tonnes of derivatives.
Furthermore, India’s second green hydrogen auction recently awarded three-year subsidy payments to nine companies planning green hydrogen production projects.
The government allocated ₹22.39bn crores ($258.84m) to support 450,000 tonnes per year of green hydrogen production – the maximum allowable under the Strategic Interventions for Green Hydrogen Transition Programme.
