In New Delhi, Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri shared updates on India's progress in green hydrogen production, stating that state-run oil refiners have already floated tenders for 42 kilotonne per annum of green hydrogen capacity, with plans for an additional 128 kilotonne capacity. These initiatives, costing an estimated ₹2 trillion, demonstrate a significant investment in sustainable energy sources. The minister highlighted the construction and commissioning of research and development plants by major players like Indian Oil Corp. Ltd, Gail India Ltd, Hindustan Petroleum Corp. Ltd, and Bharat Petroleum Corp. Ltd. These efforts underscore India's commitment to green energy adoption. Green hydrogen, produced using renewable energy, is positioned to replace fossil fuel-derived feedstock in industries like petroleum refining, fertilizer production, and steel manufacturing. Notably, Indian Oil finalized the cost of a 10,000 tonne per annum green hydrogen generation unit at its Panipat refinery, marking a substantial entry into the green hydrogen space. Similarly, BPCL commissioned a 5 MW green hydrogen plant at the Bina refinery, furthering India's green energy initiatives.
