New Delhi: India is positioning itself as a global hub for green hydrogen exports, aiming to capture nearly 10 per cent of worldwide demand by 2030. Union Minister of State for New & Renewable Energy Shripad Yesso Naik announced this goal while addressing the FICCI Green Hydrogen Summit 2025 in the capital.

Building Global Leadership in Green Hydrogen

“We want to make India not only a major producer but also a global hub for green hydrogen exports, aiming to capture nearly 10 per cent of the global demand,” Naik stated.

The minister revealed that 8.62 lakh tonne annual hydrogen production capacity has already been awarded to 19 companies. He highlighted that five states have notified their own green hydrogen policies, while several others are actively working on enabling frameworks. These efforts focus on land allocation, water supply, banking of renewable power, and incentivizing innovation through hydrogen hubs.

National Green Hydrogen Mission Progress

Launched in 2023 with an initial outlay of ₹19,744 crore, the National Green Hydrogen Mission has gained momentum. Under the Strategic Interventions for Green Hydrogen Transition (SIGHT) scheme:

  • Component-I has awarded 3,000 MW electrolyser manufacturing capacity to 15 firms.
  • Component-II has sanctioned 8.62 lakh tonnes of annual green hydrogen production capacity across 19 firms.

Naik emphasized that over 100 standards and protocols for green hydrogen are either adopted or in development to ensure quality, safety, and global competitiveness.

Driving Innovation and Finance

To meet targets, the government is considering incentives and financing tools. “This will require us to continue innovating, to strengthen certification and trading mechanisms, to create offtake certainty, and to unlock green finance through instruments such as viability gap funding, green bonds, and multilateral bank support,” the minister said.

Pilot projects are also underway in steel, transport, and shipping sectors to explore direct green hydrogen usage. Additionally, 23 R&D projects have been sanctioned, while over 100 proposals are under evaluation for establishing Centres of Excellence. Three domestic testing facilities for hydrogen are also in progress.

Scaling Renewable Energy for Hydrogen Production

India aims to produce 5 million tonnes of green hydrogen annually by 2030, supported by the development of an additional 125 GW of renewable energy capacity dedicated to hydrogen production. Advances in solar PV, offshore wind, and electrolyser efficiency are already driving down costs, a trend expected to accelerate in the coming years.

Global Partnerships and EU Collaboration

On the global front, Ewa Suwara, Chargé d’Affaires of the EU Delegation to India, announced that the upcoming India–EU Hydrogen Task Force will serve as a high-level platform to align strategies and coordinate actions. “But let me emphasize — this is not just about governments talking to each other. The real success will come from businesses on both sides engaging directly, finding synergies, and building commercially viable partnerships,” she remarked.
