Electrolyzer Technology Adoption – Deployment of electrolysis technology for green hydrogen generation.

Electrolyzer technology adoption is a critical bottleneck and a major opportunity for the Indian market. India is currently focused on indigenizing the manufacturing of all major electrolyzer technologies, including Alkaline and Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM), with emerging interest in Solid Oxide Electrolyzer Cells (SOEC). The SIGHT program's PLI scheme for electrolyzer manufacturing is designed to make India a global hub for this key equipment, targeting a domestic manufacturing capacity of at least 5 GW per annum by 2030.

Major industry players like Ohmium, L&T, and various foreign collaborators are establishing domestic gigafactories. PEM technology is gaining traction for its high efficiency and quick response time, ideal for fluctuating renewable power.

However, Alkaline technology is currently favored for large-scale projects due to its lower capital cost. Successful adoption requires significant R&D investment to reduce reliance on imported components and critical materials and to improve overall system efficiency and durability.
