"Electrolyser manufacturing is already in progress, giving the company a first-mover advantage in green hydrogen," he said.

Subrahmanyan called the regulatory approval from the US department of energy for the transfer of SMR technology to India a landmark development.

"With L&T figuring among the only three eligible Indian companies for this, this signals the formal start of our SMR journey, empowering us to lead the commercialisation of nuclear energy in the country," he said.
