New Delhi, September 01, 2025: GH2 Solar Limited, in joint venture with South Korea-based Advanced Hydrogen Energy Solutions (AHES) Ltd., has announced plans to establish a ₹400 crore Green Hydrogen Electrolyzer Manufacturing Facility in Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh. The project is part of India’s National Green Hydrogen Mission and aims to strengthen the country’s renewable energy ecosystem.
The facility, located in Pipersewa, Morena district, will start with an annual manufacturing capacity of 105 MW under SECI’s SIGHT program, supported by a ₹157.5 crore Production Linked Incentive (PLI) subsidy. GH2 Solar has outlined plans to expand the capacity to 500 MW by 2030, directly contributing to India’s target of producing 5 million tonnes of green hydrogen annually by 2030.
The announcement, marked by a Bhoomi Pujan ceremony in Gwalior, was attended by Shri Dr. Mohan Yadav, Hon’ble Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh. The project was formally announced by Mr. Anurag Jain, Founder and CEO of GH2 Solar, alongside Prof. Joong-Hee Lee, CEO of AHES Ltd., and Mr. Raj Sharma, Director of UK-based Rhizome Energy, a partner in the project.
“As India advances towards energy independence and transitions from fossil fuels to green hydrogen, our Electrolyser Manufacturing Facility will play a critical role in this journey,” said Mr. Jain. “Through global partnerships, we are bringing cutting-edge decarbonization technologies, while government support enables us to effectively leverage local resources. We are also committed to collaborating with academic institutions and skill development centers to train engineers and technicians, ensuring India has a robust workforce to drive green hydrogen technologies forward. Ultimately, our goal is to build a complete clean energy ecosystem that positions India as a leading producer and exporter of green hydrogen, with the workforce and technology to truly realize the vision of Atmanirbhar Bharat.”
Prof. Joong-Hee Lee, CEO of AHES Ltd., added, “The future is green, and no nation can achieve it alone. The world must unite in its commitment to sustainable energy. Our joint venture with GH2 Solar brings this vision closer by producing electrolysers in India for the world. India already has skilled manpower, strong public institutions, and crucial government policy and funding support. We are happy to contribute to this ecosystem and believe our Gwalior facility will be an important step in shaping the world’s green future.”
The first phase of the project involves an investment of ₹100 crore to set up a 3 GWh Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) assembly line, with the remaining ₹300 crore to be invested in phases by 2030. The facility is expected to create over 300 direct jobs in manufacturing, operations, and research, along with secondary jobs across supply chains and renewable energy services.
Supported by Invest India and the Skill Council for Green Jobs, the facility is aligned with India’s Atmanirbhar Bharat Mission and is expected to help decarbonize high-emission sectors such as steel, fertilizers, and refineries, while also opening opportunities for export to Europe and East Asia.
