energy markets globally. He reiterated India’s vision to achieve energy independence by 2047 and reach
Net Zero emissions by 2070.
To drive this transition, the National Green Hydrogen Mission was launched by the Government in 2023,
with an initial allocation of USD 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,
? Averting nearly 50 MMT of CO2 emissions annually.
? Attract investments of about USD 100 billion.
? Generate over 600,000 jobs.
The Secretary further mentioned that India has made remarkable strides in green hydrogen
development. The country has allocated 862,000 TPA production capacity annually to 19 companies,
and awarded 3,000 MW annual electrolyzer manufacturing capacity to 15 firms, and we have launched
pilot projects in steel, mobility, and shipping sectors.
Green Hydrogen Certification Scheme of India has been launched recently. The Mission is working on a
Whole of Government approach and major policy provisions have been made to support the nascent
but fast growing domestic Green Hydrogen industry. 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 namely 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. These effective
actions firmly establish India to be a global leader in green hydrogen sphere, but challenges ahead such
as high production costs, lack of standardized frameworks, and infrastructure limitations; pose
hindrance to scaling up hydrogen economy.
The Secretary invited Delegates attending the Green Hydrogen Summit 2025 to visit India’s Pavilion
during the next two days and interact with Indian industries to explore partnerships.
The Secretary’s keynote 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
decarbonization action.
The National Green Hydrogen Mission is a flagship initiative of the Government of India, aimed at
fostering the development and adoption of green hydrogen technologies in India. With a target of
establishing 5 million tonnes of annual green hydrogen production capacity by 2030, the mission
represents a significant step towards realizing India's ambitions in the hydrogen economy. The
Government has made substantial progress in this regard, having awarded tenders for incentives to
