Sterlite Technologies and Hygenco launch Maharashtra's first green hydrogen plant for optical fibre manufacturing
With this initiative, STL is set to become one of the world's first optical fibre manufacturers to fully integrate 100% green hydrogen in its production process. This marks a significant step toward achieving STL's ambitious Net Zero emissions goal by 2030.
Under the agreement, Hygenco will build, own, and operate the green hydrogen facility, ensuring a steady and cost-effective supply of green hydrogen and oxygen to STL for the next 20 years. The move is expected to cut STL's carbon emissions by approximately 30% annually.
The Chhatrapati Sambhaji Nagar plant manufactures semiconductor-grade glass preforms, which are critical to producing high-quality optical fibres. In this process, hydrogen and oxygen serve as essential fuels in blast furnaces to transform silica into glass.
The facility also incorporates advanced energy management systems, real-time monitoring, and automation technologies to enhance operational efficiency, safety, and sustainability.
Rahul Puri, CEO – Optical Networking Business, STL, stated: 'By leveraging 100% green hydrogen for its glass preform manufacturing, STL is setting a new global benchmark for decarbonization in the optical fibre industry. Our collaboration with Hygenco exemplifies our commitment towards sustainability and operational excellence. We are proud to lead the way in integrating green hydrogen into large-scale manufacturing and look forward to continuing our efforts to build a greener, more resilient future for India and the world.'
