GH2 Solar Ltd will establish a green hydrogen electrolyzer manufacturing facility in Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh, through a joint venture with South Korea-based Advanced Hydrogen Energy Solutions (AHES) Ltd.

Premier Energies has secured orders worth INR 2,703 crore for the supply of 2,059 MW of solar PV cells and modules from both new and existing domestic customers.

Greenzo Energy India Ltd has received an order from Jindal Stainless Ltd (JSL), India’s largest stainless-steel manufacturer, for the supply, erection, installation, and commissioning of an advanced electrolyser-based green hydrogen plant at JSL’s Kalinga Nagar Industrial Complex in Jajpur, Odisha.

Scientists in India have designed a system that uses PV panels, a proton-exchange membrane fuel cell, battery storage, and a supercapacitor. It also relies on an adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system-based MPPT that reportedly achieves an efficiency of 98.7%.

Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) is set to begin production at its upcoming battery gigafactory in 2026, with an initial annual capacity of 40 GWh. The facility will later be modularly scaled up to 100 GWh per annum, announced Anant Ambani, executive director of RIL, during the company’s annual general meeting recently.

Researchers at CSIR-Central Salt and Marine Chemicals Research Institute thermally encapsulated organic redox molecules within multiwalled carbon nanotubes to form a stable and flowable slurry for use as high-capacity catholytes in aqueous zinc flow batteries. The assembled batteries using these catholytes exhibited excellent cycling stability at an applied current density of 1.0 mA cm⁻², with a Coulombic efficiency of 99%.

Everest Industries, a building solutions company in India, has invested INR 1.76 crore in Amplus Ampere (Amplus), a special-purpose vehicle (SPV) created by Amplus Energy Solutions to set up a solar power plant for group captive consumption.

The lowest green ammonia price discovered so far in the SIGHT Mode 2A auctions is just 10.1% higher than the current grey ammonia prices in India (US$515 per MT). Notably, the low cost of Rs 49.75 per kg in the Mode 2A auctions is almost half of a similar green ammonia auction conducted by H2Global in 2024, suggesting an imminent price parity between grey and green ammonia.

The first tranche of 10,000 solar pump units fully booked by farmers within 1.5 hours.

Transmission Corp. of Andhra Pradesh Ltd (APTRANSCO) has invited bids for setting up a 2 GWh (1 GW x 2 hours) standalone battery energy storage system (BESS) in Andhra Pradesh. The project will be supported by viability gap funding (VGF) through the Power System Development Fund.
