Scale-up path
Prove two. Then copy them.
Each site is a 1 MW module that grows to 3 MW by adding stacks. Replication is a siting exercise, not a re-engineering one.
Phase 1 · Years 1–3
Punjab and Odisha validate the model. 1 MW each, growing to 3 MW. Captive lines reach 25–35% of output.
Phase 2 · Years 4–6
Optimise: carbon-fibre vessel transition, full fuel-cell backup, measured curves replace modelled ones.
Phase 3 · Year 7+
Replicate to Rajasthan, Gujarat and Karnataka: five to seven additional sites.
What a site needs
- Clean water access, ground or spring
- 10 acres of land
- Solar irradiance above 5 kWh/m²/day
- An industrial cluster within 100 km
- A suitable sister manufacturing opportunity: food processing, materials or chemicals
India has more than twenty-five such locations. The buildout potential is 50–75 MW of electrolyser capacity by 2035 — modelled, and dependent on Phase 1 doing what the model says it will.
