  • Pilot projects in steel, mobility, and shipping sectors initiated, with significant production and manufacturing capacities allocated to companies.
  • Strategic vision to achieve energy independence by 2047 and Net Zero emissions by 2070, with a goal to become a major global exporter of green hydrogen by 2030.
  • Supportive policies including the Green Hydrogen Certification Scheme and exemption from environmental clearances for green hydrogen and green ammonia plants.
India has embarked on a transformative journey towards green hydrogen, launching the National Green Hydrogen Mission with a substantial initial investment of $2.4 billion. The country has allocated significant production and manufacturing capacities to various companies, with aims to produce 5 million metric tonnes of green hydrogen by 2030. Pilot projects in key sectors like steel, mobility, and shipping have been initiated to drive innovation and adoption. With a strategic focus on renewable energy, India has positioned itself as a global leader in the green hydrogen domain. The vision includes achieving energy independence by 2047 and Net Zero emissions by 2070, showcasing the country's commitment to sustainability. India aims to not only meet domestic demand but also emerge as a major exporter of green hydrogen by 2030, contributing significantly to global decarbonization efforts. To support this ambitious mission, India has introduced progressive policies such as the Green Hydrogen Certification Scheme and exemptions from environmental clearances for green hydrogen and green ammonia plants. The country's infrastructure development plans include the identification of major ports to be developed as Green Hydrogen hubs, highlighting a comprehensive approach towards fostering green hydrogen production and distribution. Moreover, with 15 states announcing supportive policies for green hydrogen, India is laying a strong foundation for economic growth, job creation, and sustainable development. The initiatives underline a positive sentiment towards green hydrogen, positioning it as a key driver for India's energy independence and export growth.
