The facility, located in Pipersewa, Morena district (Madhya Pradesh), will begin with an annual manufacturing capacity of 105 MW awarded under SECI’s SIGHT programme, supported by INR 157.5 Crore Production Linked Incentive (PLI) subsidy. The total investment in the project is approximately INR 400 crore, with INR 100 crore allocated in the first phase to set up a 3 GWh BESS assembly line, and the remaining INR 300 crore to be invested in phases by 2030 to expand the facility.
GH2 Solar has also outlined plans to expand the electrolyser capacity to 500 MW by 2030, directly contributing to the National Green Hydrogen Mission’s target of producing five million tonnes of green hydrogen annually by 2030. The announcement was marked by a Bhoomi Pujan ceremony in Gwalior, graced by Dr Mohan Yadav, Chief Minister, Madhya Pradesh. The project was formally announced by Anurag Jain, CEO and Founder, GH2 solar, alongside Professor Joong-Hee Lee, CEO, AHES and Raj Sharma, Director, Rhizome Energy, UK.
Through the JV with AHES, GH2 Solar will bring advanced alkaline electrolyser technology to India, with future expansion into PEM and other generation systems. In addition, GH2 Solar’s partnership with Rhizome Energy (UK) will embed sustainable design principles and advanced engineering practices to ensure the facility is competitive, efficient and manufactures tailored solutions as per Indian conditions, strengthening the vision of making India a global hub for green hydrogen.
Speaking on the occasion, Anurag Jain, Founder and CEO, GH2 Solar, said, “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. Through global partnerships, we are bringing cutting-edge decarboniation technologies, while government support enables us to leverage local resources. We are also committed to collaborate with academic institutions and skill development centres 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 realise the vision of Atmanirbhar Bharat.”
The project is supported by Invest India and Skill Council for Green Jobs. The facility’s operations are expected to create over 300 direct jobs in manufacturing, operations and research, along with hundreds of secondary jobs across supply chain, logistics and renewable energy services. By building renewable energy capabilities and training future workforce, the facility also makes a significant contribution to the Government of India’s Atmanirbhar Bharat Mission.
Adding to his perspective, Professor Joong-Hee Lee, CEO, AHES, said, “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.”
