Maruti Suzuki Pilots 300 kW Green Hydrogen Electrolyzer, Pioneering Low‑Carbon Manufacturing in India
Дата публикации: 26-09-2026 07:04:24
Maruti Suzuki India Limited (“Maruti Suzuki”) has commissioned a 300 kW Green Hydrogen (GH₂) electrolyzer plant at its Manesar facility as a pilot project. The hydrogen produced is blended with natural gas and deployed as process fuel in manufacturing operations.The initiative maximizes the use of solar energy generated at Manesar. Power produced during holidays, which would otherwise remain idle, is harnessed to generate Green Hydrogen. The hydrogen is stored and later consumed in production processes. Insights from this pilot will guide the company’s plan to scale green hydrogen adoption across facilities in Haryana and Gujarat.Inspired by parent company Suzuki Motor Corporation’s (“SMC”) philosophy of Sho‑Sho‑Kei‑Tan‑Bi — meaning smaller, fewer, lighter, shorter, and more beautiful — Maruti Suzuki continues to advance resource efficiency and optimize energy requirements.Speaking on the pilot initiative, Mr. Hisashi Takeuchi, Managing Director & CEO, Maruti Suzuki India Limited, said, “Just like we have adopted a multi-pathway approach for products, we have also embarked on a journey of multiple renewable energy solutions for manufacturing operations. The commissioning of our 300 kW Green Hydrogen plant is aligned with the Government of India’s Green Hydrogen Mission. This, along with expansion of solar, biogas and installation of battery energy storage system reflects our commitment to transition to cleaner and sustainable energy solutions.”He added, “India is emerging as a manufacturing powerhouse, and its competitive position may not depend solely on cost and quality, but also on CO2 intensity. With such initiatives, we are building capability today so that we can support a low-carbon and more energy-efficient manufacturing ecosystem tomorrow. Through multiple clean technologies, we aspire to reduce our carbon footprint in manufacturing operations from the present 615,000 tonnes to 266,000 tonnes in FY 2030-31i.”Several major automakers in India are pursuing clean energy and green hydrogen initiatives alongside Maruti Suzuki, including Tata Motors, Ashok Leyland, Reliance Industries, NTPC, Toyota Kirloskar, and Indian Oil. These projects range from hydrogen mobility pilots to biogas plants and renewable energy integration.Tata Motors partnered with Indian Oil Corporation (IOCL) under the National Green Hydrogen Mission.
