The Indian government has revised its list of winners for the first auction for electrolyser manufacturing subsidies, originally announced in January, after steelmaker Jindal — which had won incentives for 300MW of annual manufacturing capacity — dropped out of the process.
This left 300MW per year of manufacturing capacity, with a maximum incentive of 4.44 billion rupees ($53.5m), to be redistributed among bidders.
Engineering company Larsen & Toubro, which had in January seen its 300MW/year bid partially awarded to cover 63MW/year, has now been awarded production-linked incentives for its full bid.
Meanwhile, Matrix Gas and Renewables, which had been left off the original winners’ list, has now been allocated subsidies for 63MW/year of its 105MW/year bid, worth up to 932.4m rupees.
Awards for a separate block of funding — for “indigenously developed” technology (rather than intellectual property licensed from abroad, such as L&T’s use of McPhy tech) — did not change, as that had already been fully allocated.
