  • Secretary Sarangi highlighted pilot projects in steel, mobility, and shipping industries to integrate green hydrogen, showcasing India's diverse approach towards clean energy adoption.
  • With a target to produce 5 million metric tonnes of green hydrogen annually by 2030, India aims to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by nearly 50 million metric tonnes each year and attract around $100 billion in investments.
  • The National Green Hydrogen Mission, launched with a $2.4 billion investment, aims to create over 600,000 jobs, position India as a key player in the global green hydrogen economy, and foster a strong commitment to green hydrogen transition across 15 states.
India has made significant strides in green hydrogen development, showcasing commitment to clean energy transition. The government allocated substantial production and manufacturing capacities, emphasizing the integration of green hydrogen in key industries such as steel, mobility, and shipping. Secretary Sarangi highlighted the country's renewable energy capacity of over 223 GW, positioning India as one of the fastest-growing renewable energy markets globally. With ambitions to achieve energy independence by 2047 and net-zero emissions by 2070, India aims to become a major global exporter of green hydrogen by 2030. The National Green Hydrogen Mission, supported by a $2.4 billion investment, sets targets to reduce emissions, attract investments, and create jobs. Recent policy initiatives like the Green Hydrogen Certification Scheme and state-level support reflect India's holistic approach to drive green hydrogen adoption and establish itself as a key player in the global green economy.
