In a regulatory filing, the company said it "will foray into land green energy for captive usage (self-consumption). The company will set up a green hydrogen facility, based on a solar plant and wind farm with a capacity of 15MW-20MW."

The funds for the rights issue will be mainly used for the acquisition of a 126-acre land plot.

This land will be strategically employed for the establishment of both a solar power facility and a wind energy installation.

"These sustainable energy sources will be harnessed to generate electricity, which, in turn, will be utilised for the production of green hydrogen via water electrolysis. This green energy expansion offers the company the strategic advantage of backward integration, with control over its energy supply," the company said.

Any surplus green hydrogen produced will be made available for sale to external parties.

"The decision to venture into green energy aligns seamlessly with our commitment to environmental stewardship and operational excellence.

Beyond financial gains, this expansion offers us a strategic advantage through backward integration, granting us greater control over our supply chain," Abhishek Javeri, Managing Director of Sadhana Nitro Chem, said.
