Karnataka Green Hydrogen Quest

Karnataka is developing a dedicated green hydrogen policy to attract investments, foster demand, and promote green hydrogen in industries and mobility. The policy aims to make Karnataka a leading green hydrogen state in India.

JSW Energy will be constructing 25-megawatt green hydrogen project in Vijayanagar of Karnataka for its group company JSW Steel Ltd. to manufacture green steel. Sharad Mahendra, Joint MD & CEO of JSW Energy, expressed confidence in commissioning the project by Q4 of FY25.

Last July, US based Ohmium International, a leading green hydrogen company that designs, manufactures, and deploys advanced Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) electrolyzers, has inaugurated its new gigafactory in Doddaballapura, Bengaluru.
