India makes remarkable strides in green hydrogen development
India has made remarkable strides in green hydrogen development , allocating 862,000 tonnes per annum (TPA) production capacity annually to 19 companies, and awarded 3,000 MW annual electrolyser manufacturing capacity to 15 firms, it was announced on Tuesday. The country has also launched pilot projects in steel, mobility, and shipping sectors, informed Santosh Kumar Sarangi , Secretary, Ministry of New and Renewable Energy. Speaking at the ' World Hydrogen Summit 2025' in Rotterdam, the Netherlands , he highlighted India's strategic vision and capabilities in the domain of renewable energy and green hydrogen production. The Secretary highlighted that India has already installed over 223 GW of renewable energy — that includes 108 GW from solar and 51 GW from wind — placing India among the fastest-growing renewable energy markets globally. He reiterated India's vision to achieve energy independence by 2047 and reach Net Zero emissions by 2070. His address showcased that India's vision to not only meet its domestic demand but also become a major global exporter of green hydrogen by 2030 — contributing meaningfully to decarbonisation action. To drive this transition, the National Green Hydrogen Mission was launched by the Government in 2023, with an initial allocation of $2.4 billion. It lays out a comprehensive roadmap to identify and create demand in potential sectors, provide production incentives for setting up domestic capacity, achieve 5 million metric tonnes of green hydrogen production by 2030, avert nearly 50 MMT of CO2 emissions annually, attract investments of about $100 billion and generate over 600,000 jobs. The country recently launched the 'Green Hydrogen Certification Scheme'. Green Hydrogen and Green Ammonia plants have been exempted from environmental clearance by the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change. To push this forward, three major ports -- Kandla, Paradip and Tuticorin ports -- have been identified by Ministry of Ports, Shipping and Waterways (MoPSW) to be developed as Green Hydrogen hubs. Furthermore, 15 states have announced policies to support green hydrogen.

Three ports identified as hydrogen hubs; 15 states announce green hydrogen policies: MNRE
New Delhi: The Ministry of New & Renewable Energy ( MNRE ) has identified Kandla, Paradip, and Tuticorin ports as green hydrogen hubs and 15 Indian states have announced dedicated policies to support green hydrogen development, MNRE Secretary Santosh Kumar Sarangi said on Tuesday. Speaking at the World Hydrogen Summit 2025 in Rotterdam, Sarangi said these steps are part of India's broader efforts to position itself as a global hub for green hydrogen production and exports under the National Green Hydrogen Mission . The mission, launched in 2023 with an allocation of $2.4 billion, targets the production of 5 million metric tonnes (MMT) of green hydrogen annually by 2030. It is expected to attract investments worth $100 billion, generate over 600,000 jobs, and help avert nearly 50 MMT of carbon dioxide emissions per year. Sarangi said, 'India has already installed over 223 GW of renewable energy—that includes 108 GW from solar and 51 GW from wind—placing India among the fastest-growing renewable energy markets globally.' Under the mission, the government has allocated 862,000 tonnes per annum of green hydrogen production capacity to 19 companies and awarded 3,000 MW per annum of electrolyser manufacturing capacity to 15 firms. The Secretary added that the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change has exempted green hydrogen and green ammonia plants from environmental clearance to accelerate project execution. The mission is also supporting pilot projects in the steel, mobility, and shipping sectors. A Green Hydrogen Certification Scheme has been launched, and the government is implementing a whole-of-government approach to address sector challenges. 'India's vision is to not only meet its domestic demand but also become a major global exporter of green hydrogen by 2030—contributing meaningfully to decarbonization action,' Sarangi said. He added that issues such as high production costs, lack of standardised frameworks, and infrastructure constraints remain key challenges that need resolution to scale up green hydrogen deployment. Sarangi invited delegates at the summit to visit the India Pavilion and interact with Indian industries over the next two days to explore potential partnerships.
