State-owned GAIL India NSE -1.37 % Ltd plans to import India’s first and the largest to date electrolyser for producing green hydrogen within a year and may look to hire another ship to ferry LNG from the US, officials said Tuesday.
GAIL chairman and managing director Manoj Jain said his company had launched a global tender to procure a 10-megawatt electrolyser capable of producing 4.5 tonnes per day of hydrogen.
Delivery of the electrolyser may happen in 12 to 14 months.
“Not just imports, we are also looking at domestic manufacturing of electrolyser. Our tender gives preference to domestic manufacturers,” he said.
