Weak Green Hydrogen Demand Hits Pause on L&T's 1 GW Ambition

Published: 7 September 2026 · 1 min read

What Happened

Larsen & Toubro (L&T) has deferred plans to expand its electrolyser manufacturing capacity from 400 MW to 1 GW at its Hazira facility in Gujarat. The company cited slower-than-expected demand for green hydrogen projects and has decided to maintain its current capacity while waiting for stronger market traction.

Key Takeaways

The decision highlights the gap between green hydrogen ambitions and actual project execution. L&T says it retains the ability to scale up capacity within 12-18 months if demand improves and large green hydrogen, ammonia, or methanol projects move ahead.
