Deendayal Port Authority (DPA) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with GH2 Solar to develop infrastructure for the production, storage, and export of liquid green hydrogen and its derivatives from Kandla in Gujarat.
The agreement marks another significant step in India’s efforts to emerge as a global hub for green hydrogen production and exports while strengthening clean energy infrastructure at major ports.
Under the proposed collaboration, the project will focus on establishing facilities for green hydrogen generation using renewable energy sources along with associated storage, handling, and export infrastructure at Deendayal Port. The initiative is expected to support international demand for clean fuels and low-carbon energy solutions.
Officials stated that the partnership aligns with the Government of India’s National Green Hydrogen Mission, which aims to position the country as a leading producer and exporter of green hydrogen and green ammonia. Ports are expected to play a crucial role in building the logistics ecosystem required for future hydrogen exports.
The proposed project is also expected to contribute to industrial decarbonisation and promote the use of renewable energy in heavy industries and global maritime trade. By leveraging Gujarat’s strong renewable energy base and strategic coastal location, the initiative aims to create an integrated green energy export hub.
Deendayal Port Authority has been actively exploring green energy and sustainable infrastructure initiatives, including green hydrogen, green ammonia, renewable energy integration, and alternative fuels as part of its long-term decarbonisation roadmap.
Industry observers believe the collaboration could strengthen India’s competitiveness in the emerging global hydrogen economy, particularly as countries across Europe and Asia increasingly look for reliable suppliers of low-carbon fuels to support energy transition goals.
