GAIL (India) Limited, a Maharatna CPSE under the Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas, has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Accelera by Cummins to collaborate on hydrogen and energy transition technologies in India. The agreement, signed at India Energy Week 2025, focuses on exploring opportunities in hydrogen production, blending, transportation, and storage. By leveraging GAIL’s extensive natural gas infrastructure and Cummins’ expertise in clean energy solutions, the partnership aims to accelerate India’s hydrogen economy.

GAIL’s push for clean energy and hydrogen integration
GAIL has been actively investing in hydrogen projects to support India’s clean energy goals. In April 2024, the company commissioned a 10 MW green hydrogen plant in Vijaipur, Madhya Pradesh, using an electrolyser supplied by Accelera by Cummins. As part of its hydrogen strategy, GAIL has also been blending hydrogen into city gas distribution networks through its joint venture Avantika. The company successfully achieved a 5% hydrogen blend in pipeline natural gas during pilot-scale studies.

To reinforce its commitment to sustainability, GAIL has revised its Scope 1 and Scope 2 net-zero targets from 2040 to 2035. This shift reflects the company’s increasing focus on reducing carbon emissions and transitioning towards a cleaner energy mix.
