The transformative collaboration seeks to leverage the potential of green hydrogen to power Sterlite Technologies Limited’s manufacturing plants
Sterlite Technologies Limited (STL) has entered into a transformative agreement with Hygenco, a local green hydrogen solutions provider, to provide Green Hydrogen to its manufacturing sites. This strategic collaboration holds the potential to reshape STL's sustainability initiatives.
Hygenco is at the forefront of the industry's transition to green hydrogen as a commercially viable alternative to grey hydrogen. Through this partnership, Hygenco and STL are embarking on a transformative journey towards sustainability, leveraging the potential of green hydrogen to empower STL's manufacturing plants. Amit Bansal, CEO of Hygenco India, expresses confidence that their solution will create significant value for STL. He is excited to see STL pioneering the green hydrogen journey in the optical fibre industry and enabling a greener internet.
A Ground-breaking Industry Move
STL is known for its materials science, photonics, and precision engineering expertise. Their Glass Preform Plant in Aurangabad, Maharashtra, which leverages Industry 4.0 technology, is dedicated to manufacturing Glass Preforms, essential components for top-tier optical fibre production.

In the optical fibre value chain, gases like hydrogen and oxygen are notoriously challenging to decarbonise. However, STL and Hygenco, through their ambitious Green Hydrogen initiative, are committed to reducing carbon emissions by around 30% annually. Currently, STL relies on conventional energy sources to power its electrolysers, but Hygenco will introduce renewable energy-based electrolysers, allowing STL to produce its hydrogen in-house. This enhances efficiency and reduces potential hazards associated with procuring hydrogen in cylinders. The system will include autonomous energy management and real-time monitoring, further optimising operations.
