The plant can produce 4.3 tonnes of hydrogen daily.
GAIL (India) Limited has launched its first green hydrogen power plant with a capacity of 10 megawatts.

The company is also developing around 20 megawatts of solar projects in Vijaipur, both ground-mounted and floating, to be used by the green hydrogen plant.
