Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu unveils Green Hydrogen Valley declaration
With an ambitious target of establishing electrolyser manufacturing capacity of 5 GW by 2029 along with other targets, Chief Minister Nara Chandrababu Naidu has released Andhra Pradesh Green Hydrogen Valley Declaration-2025, here on Monday (July 21). The Chief Minister had announced during the recent Green Hydrogen Summit held at SRM University in Amaravati that the State government would be bringing out the declaration. The State government aimed at positioning Andhra Pradesh as a frontrunner in green hydrogen innovation and sustainable industrial transformation. The declaration — issued jointly by senior government officials, global industry leaders, scientists, and policy makers — outlined a comprehensive roadmap for building India's largest ecosystem for green hydrogen production, research, and application. Anchored in the State's abundant renewable energy potential and long coastline, the policy aims to make Andhra Pradesh a pivotal hub in India's green economy transition. At the heart of the declaration are four core objectives — accelerating green hydrogen production and infrastructure, promoting domestic manufacturing and innovation, building technical and research capacity, and fostering global partnerships and governance models to ensure sustainable development. Key targets set under the declaration include establishing 5 GW electrolyser manufacturing capacity by 2029 and achieving 1.50 million metric tonnes per annum (MMTPA) of green hydrogen production. The State also aims to reduce the cost of green hydrogen from ₹460 to ₹160–170 per kg by the same year, backed by the development of a 25 GW Green Energy Corridor for transmission. A central pillar of the declaration is the creation of an indigenous supply chain, with 60% of electrolyser components and storage solutions to be locally manufactured by 2030. At least three production units will be set up to support this effort. The Green Hydrogen Valley will also feature India's first Integrated Green Hydrogen Skilling Ecosystem, training 2,000 specialists annually by 2030. A ₹500 crore innovation fund will be set aside to support 50 start-ups, focusing on the development of advanced materials, high-strength carbon fibre, and hydrogen storage cylinders. Research and development will be anchored at SRM University-AP, designated as the State's nodal agency, where cutting-edge testing facilities and collaboration platforms will be established. Annual summits will track progress and encourage knowledge exchange among stakeholders. With formal partnerships planned under India's National Green Hydrogen Mission, the declaration emphasizes Andhra Pradesh's commitment to global climate goals and energy security. A multi-stake-holder Green Hydrogen Valley Advisory Board will be established with multiple working groups to identify the best technologies for production of Green Hydrogen and its derivatives, testing facilities and storage facilities.
