Maruti Suzuki India has commissioned 300 kW Green Hydrogen (GH2) electrolyzer plant, set up as pilot, at its Manesar facility. The Green Hydrogen produced is blended with natural gas to be utilized as process fuel in the company’s manufacturing operations.
The Green Hydrogen plant helps maximise the utilisation of solar energy generated at the company's Manesar facility. Solar energy produced during holidays, which would otherwise remain unutilised, is used to generate Green Hydrogen. The hydrogen is stored and subsequently used in manufacturing operations. Based on the learnings from this pilot project, the company plans to scale up the adoption of green hydrogen technology across its manufacturing facilities in Haryana and Gujarat.
In addition, the company is in the advanced stage of setting up a 10 Tonnes Per Day (TPD) biogas plant at its Kharkhoda facility, which will be commissioned within FY 2026-27. It has begun integrating compressed biogas (CBG) as process fuel. Recently, the company’s board approved 4 CBG projects and earmarked a budget of Rs 5,610 million towards the same.
Separately, the company’s the parent company -- Suzuki Motor Corporation (SMC) in partnership with organizations such as the National Dairy Development Board (NDDB) and dairy industry unions will set up 10 biogas plants across India, three of which are already operational in Gujarat.
