NEW DELHI, March 26 (Reuters) - State-run natural gas

company GAIL (India) Ltd plans to commission its first

green hydrogen project in central India in April, three company

sources said.

The 10-megawatt proton exchange membrane electrolyser for

the green-hydrogen producing unit at the Vijaipur complex in

Madhya Pradesh state has been imported from Canada, they added.

"Once the initial hiccups are sorted at the commissioning

stage, we expect to start producing in a month's time," one of

the sources said. The sources declined to be named as they are

not authorised to speak to the media.

The unit is expected to produce about 4.3 metric tons of

hydrogen per day, with a purity of about 99.999% by volume, and

would use renewable power. India aims to reach 5 million tons of

annual green hydrogen production capacity by 2030.

The company's communication office did not respond to a

Reuters request for comment.
