India's Green Hydrogen Revolution: Leading the Global Transition Towards Sustainable Energy
Key Ideas
  • India aims to become a global hub for green hydrogen production, with ambitious targets including 5 million metric tonnes by 2030 and significant investments.
  • The National Green Hydrogen Mission, launched in 2023 with USD 2.4 billion, focuses on reducing CO2 emissions and creating jobs while revolutionizing clean energy.
  • The country has initiated policy support, allocated production capacity, and developed strategic hubs like key ports to propel the growth of the hydrogen economy.
  • Despite challenges, India is confident in scaling up hydrogen production, attracting global investors for partnerships to accelerate the clean energy transition.
India is positioning itself as a leader in green hydrogen production, as outlined during the World Hydrogen Summit 2025 by Santosh Kumar Sarangi, Secretary of the Ministry of New & Renewable Energy (MNRE). The country, with its robust renewable energy infrastructure, aims to drive a global shift towards cleaner energy. The National Green Hydrogen Mission, with ambitious targets and substantial funding, seeks to revolutionize clean energy while boosting economic growth and job creation. In a bid to catalyze the hydrogen economy, India has allocated production capacity, engaged industry players, and launched policy measures including a Green Hydrogen Certification Scheme. Strategic hubs like Kandla, Paradip, and Tuticorin are being developed to support green hydrogen initiatives. While challenges such as high production costs persist, India remains optimistic about becoming a top hydrogen exporter by 2030. The country's invitation to global investors at the summit reflects its commitment to partnerships for a sustainable energy future. With its visionary approach and strategic initiatives, India aims to redefine the future of green hydrogen and play a significant role in global decarbonization efforts.
