Gensol- Matrix consortium secures 237 MW electrolyser capacity under PLI scheme

This consortium has secured a total capacity of 300 MW, including a previous 63 MW awarded in the first tranche of the SECI tender. This success brings the total PLI incentive to INR 450 crore.

Gensol Engineering Limited specialising in solar engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) and electric mobility solutions, in collaboration with Matrix Gas & Renewables Ltd., a fastest-growing green hydrogen infrastructure developer and natural gas aggregator, announced that it has emerged as a winning bidder for 237 MW annual capacity under Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme for setting up electrolyser manufacturing plant. Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI) secured this bid through a competitive tender. 

The Gensol-Matrix consortium has secured a cumulative 300 MW capacity, including a prior 63 MW awarded in the first tranche of the SECI tender that equates to INR 450 Crore cumulatively incentive under the PLI scheme. 

This Production Linked Incentive (PLI), issued by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) under the National Green Hydrogen Mission, marks a significant milestone in India’s renewable energy landscape. Electrolysers are key components in the production of green hydrogen and its derivatives. This project will be pivotal in achieving India’s goal of producing 5 million metric tons of green hydrogen annually by 2030. 

Commenting on this achievement, Anmol Jaggi, Managing Director, General Engineering Ltd., said, “Winning this PLI capacity under the National Green Hydrogen Mission is a testament to our commitment and technical capabilities. It strengthens our position in the green hydrogen sector and opens up new avenues for growth and collaboration in renewable energy.”

Chirag Kotecha, Whole-time Director at Matrix Gas and Renewables Ltd., added,“Winning the PLI bid for this prestigious project amidst stiff competition from major conglomerates highlights our technological expertise and manufacturing experience as Gensol – Matrix consortium. Electrolyser manufacturing initiative is central to our strategy for large-scale decarbonisation through green hydrogen, aligning with our vision of establishing India as a leader in sustainable, low-carbon energy.”

Gensol & Matrix are both companies promoted by common promoters and will continue to collaborate in the Green Hydrogen and its derivates including Green Steel and Green Ammonia domain taking benefit of the skill sets of each entity.
