What happened
Maruti Suzuki India Limited commissioned a 300 kW green hydrogen electrolyzer plant, which serves as a pilot project, at its Manesar facility in Haryana. The company plans to scale up the adoption of green hydrogen technology across its manufacturing facilities in Haryana and Gujarat based on the pilot's learnings. Through multiple clean technologies, Maruti Suzuki aims to reduce its manufacturing carbon footprint from 6,15,000 tonnes to 2,66,000 tonnes by FY 2030-31.
Why it matters
The initiative aligns with the Government of India's Green Hydrogen Mission. Maruti Suzuki's Managing Director & CEO, Hisashi Takeuchi, noted that a company's competitive position as a manufacturing powerhouse may depend on its CO2 intensity. This move supports the transition toward a low-carbon and more energy-efficient manufacturing ecosystem in India.
