Scheduled for commissioning by December 2027, the unit will produce green hydrogen—generated using renewable energy—which will be used to replace fossil-based hydrogen currently utilized in refinery operations. This substitution is expected to significantly reduce carbon emissions at the facility.
The project is aligned with the Government of India's National Green Hydrogen Mission and forms part of IndianOil's broader decarbonization strategy. By focusing on green hydrogen, the company aims to support national climate goals and move towards its net-zero emissions target.
