Key Highlights:
- Production Targets: India’s first 5 MMTPA (Million Metric Tonnes Per Annum) capacity milestones.
- Hydrogen Hubs: Strategic locations in Gujarat, Odisha, and Tamil Nadu.
- Incentive Structure: Deployment of the SIGHT (Strategic Interventions for Green Hydrogen Transition) program.
By 2026, India’s National Green Hydrogen Mission has moved from policy to production. The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) has successfully auctioned the first round of production-linked incentives (PLI). Major industrial clusters in Jamnagar and Paradip have started blending green hydrogen into refinery processes.
The government’s regulation in 2026 mandates a percentage of “Green Hydrogen” usage for the fertilizer and shipping industries. This is a critical step toward India’s goal of becoming a net exporter of clean energy. With the global energy transition in full swing, India’s low cost of renewable energy (Solar/Wind) gives it a unique competitive edge, aiming to capture 10% of the global green hydrogen market by 2030.
