1. Can you share the core vision of Greenzo Energy India, and how you see the company’s role in India’s transition to clean, renewable energy over the next 5-10 years?

Greenzo Energy’s vision is to accelerate India’s transition towards a clean, sustainable, and selfreliant energy future by promoting indigenous green hydrogen and renewable energy solutions. Over the next 5–10 years, we aim to play a leading role in achieving India’s net-zero goals by manufacturing high-efficiency alkaline electrolysers and delivering large-scale, cost effective green hydrogen and green ammonia projects.

Our focus is on reducing dependency on imported technologies by offering Made-in-India solutions tailored to local climatic and industrial conditions. Through solar-integrated hydrogen plants and green hydrogen hubs, we aim to support industrial decarbonization in critical sectors such as steel, chemicals, fertilizers, and refineries, making green hydrogen commercially viable and scalable.

In addition to technology development, our EPC services for green hydrogen and solar projects drive domestic capital investment, create direct and indirect employment, and foster collaboration with Indian suppliers and contractors, strengthening the local value chain. This not only boosts India’s industrial competitiveness but also attracts foreign investments by showcasing India’s capability in advanced clean energy solutions.

Ultimately, Greenzo Energy’s goal is to position India as a global hub for green hydrogen manufacturing and innovation, ensuring sustainable economic growth while contributing to the country’s journey from the 4th to the 3rd largest economy and its broader decarbonization ambitions.

2. What are the key technologies or innovations Greenzo Energy is investing in (solar, wind, energy storage, smart grid, etc.), and how do they differentiate you from competitors?

Greenzo Energy is primarily focused on green hydrogen and renewable energy integration, with our core innovation being the design and in-house manufacturing of high-efficiency indigenous alkaline electrolysers, ranging from 150 kW to 5 MW. These electrolysers are engineered for diverse climatic and industrial conditions, offering hydrogen output at 30 bar(g), which reduces the need for additional compressors, significantly lowering CAPEX and OPEX for green hydrogen projects.

Alongside electrolysers, we provide end-to-end EPC solutions for solar-integrated hydrogen projects, enabling industries to generate renewable energy onsite and convert it into green hydrogen for decarbonization and energy independence. Our systems are SCADA-enabled for autonomous operation, with predictive fault alerts and remote monitoring, enhancing reliability and reducing downtime.

What differentiates Greenzo from competitors is our technology ownership and backward integration. Unlike many companies that rely on imports, our electrolysers are completely indigenously developed, ensuring local servicing, easy maintenance, and a lifespan of over 10 years.

Additionally, our upcoming 250 MW manufacturing facility in Gujarat will allow large-scale, costeffective production, giving us the ability to meet India’s growing demand while supporting the government’s Make in India initiative. By combining advanced technology, renewable integration, and local manufacturing, we deliver scalable, reliable, and affordable clean energy solutions that stand out in a rapidly evolving green energy market.

3. Could you describe one or two flagship projects Greenzo has completed (or is undertaking) that you believe showcase your capabilities or have particularly strong social or environmental impact?

Greenzo Energy has been driving India’s green hydrogen transition by delivering projects that combine innovation, scalability, and sustainability. Recently, we successfully commissioned a 150-kW green hydrogen plant for Felix Industries, powered by our indigenously designed alkaline electrolyser with a 30 Nm³/hr capacity at 30 bar(g). By producing hydrogen at high pressure, we eliminated the need for external compressors, significantly reducing both CAPEX and OPEX for the client. This project was inspected and certified by TÜV Rheinland and Bureau Veritas, ensuring adherence to global quality and safety benchmarks.

Currently, we are executing two flagship projects:
a. A 5,256,000 Nm³/annum modular electrolyser plant for Jindal Group, designed for large-scale industrial hydrogen production.A 21,900 Nm³/annum pilot project with Engineers India Limited (EIL), aimed at demonstrating green hydrogen integration for government-led initiatives.

b. In parallel, our upcoming 250 MW state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Gujarat will boost India’s electrolyser production capacity, reduce import dependency, and make green hydrogen solutions more affordable and scalable.

These projects highlight Greenzo’s ability to deliver end-to-end solutions, from pilot plants to full-scale commercial projects, while driving industrial decarbonization and strengthening India’s position in the global green energy landscape.


4. What are the major policy, regulatory, or market challenges you face in India’s renewable energy sector, and how is Greenzo Energy navigating them to scale operations?

Scaling green hydrogen and renewable energy in India comes with policy, regulatory, and market challenges that need urgent attention.

One of the biggest gaps is the lack of standardized certification and performance benchmarks for electrolysers. Without a clear framework, clients and investors remain cautious about adopting indigenous technology. Establishing national standards aligned with global safety and quality norms would build trust and accelerate large-scale adoption.

Another key challenge is financial viability. High upfront costs for electrolysers and infrastructure often discourage private players. Production-Linked Incentives (PLI) tailored specifically for electrolyser manufacturing, along with low-interest loans, viability gap funding, and reduced earnest money requirements in tenders, would make green hydrogen projects more attractive and competitive.

Additionally, India’s local supply chain for critical components—such as membranes, catalysts, and control systems—is still underdeveloped. Promoting domestic production of these components will lower costs, reduce import dependency, and shorten project timelines.

Lastly, the absence of guaranteed demand poses a barrier. Creating policy-driven market mechanisms, such as government procurement programs or mandates for industries like steel, fertilizers, and refineries to adopt green hydrogen, would provide the long-term visibility needed for manufacturers to confidently scale operations.

Greenzo Energy is actively navigating these challenges by collaborating with policymakers, investing in indigenous R&D, and building partnerships with both government and private sectors. With the right policy ecosystem, India can rapidly scale its green hydrogen economy, positioning itself as a global leader in clean energy.

5. How does Greenzo Energy integrate sustainability in its operations beyond just clean energy (e.g. supply chain, community engagement, environmental stewardship)?

At Greenzo Energy, sustainability is embedded into every aspect of our operations, going beyond clean energy production to create a lasting environmental and social impact.

In our manufacturing and supply chain, we prioritize local sourcing, partnering with Indian suppliers to reduce transportation emissions, minimize reliance on imports, and support the Make in India initiative. This approach strengthens India’s domestic green hydrogen ecosystem while lowering our overall carbon footprint.

From an environmental stewardship perspective, our electrolysers are designed for high energy efficiency and optimized water usage, making green hydrogen production more sustainable. During project execution, we follow strict waste management practices and global safety standards, certified by TÜV Rheinland and Bureau Veritas, ensuring safe and environmentally responsible operations.

On the community front, Greenzo focuses on local job creation and skill development by training regional workforces to operate and maintain hydrogen plants. We also engage with local communities to ensure projects bring shared benefits, such as infrastructure improvements and access to renewable energy.

Through this holistic approach, Greenzo integrates innovation, environmental care, and community development, ensuring that as we decarbonize industries, we also build resilient communities and protect the planet.

6. What are your plans regarding expansion in terms of capacity, geography, or product offerings? Also, what kind of partnerships (local, global, technology providers, financiers) are most critical in achieving that growth?

Greenzo Energy has a clear roadmap for expanding capacity, geography, and product offerings to meet growing green hydrogen demand.

We are scaling up our electrolyser manufacturing capabilities, producing high-efficiency alkaline electrolysers from 150 kW to 5 MW, with plans to increase overall capacity to 2 GW in the coming years.
