India Accelerates Green Hydrogen with Major Investment

India is ramping up its green hydrogen initiatives, aiming to deploy 15,000 MW of electrolysers by 2026, backed by a substantial investment of ₹45,000 crore. This ambitious project is part of India’s broader strategy to enhance its renewable energy sector and support the global transition to sustainable energy.

Green Hydrogen Expansion: The Indian government plans to establish a robust infrastructure for green hydrogen production. This includes the installation of 15,000 MW of electrolysers, which are crucial for producing hydrogen through the electrolysis of water using renewable energy sources.

Significant Investment: To support this initiative, a total investment of ₹45,000 crore is earmarked. This funding will be directed towards the development and deployment of electrolysis technology, infrastructure, and supporting systems.

Renewable Energy Integration: The green hydrogen project aligns with India's commitment to transitioning towards renewable energy sources. By using renewable power for electrolysis, India aims to produce hydrogen in an environmentally friendly manner.

Hydrogen Economy Goals: The expansion of green hydrogen production is expected to play a key role in India's hydrogen economy. This initiative will contribute to reducing carbon emissions and supporting the country's climate goals.

Technological Advancements: Investment in advanced electrolysis technology will enhance the efficiency and scalability of hydrogen production. The development of cutting-edge electrolysers is essential for meeting the growing demand for green hydrogen.

Economic Impact: The green hydrogen project is anticipated to create numerous job opportunities and stimulate economic growth in the renewable energy sector. It will also attract investment and innovation in clean energy technologies.

Global Leadership: India’s efforts in green hydrogen underscore its role as a global leader in renewable energy. By advancing hydrogen technology, India aims to set an example for other nations in achieving sustainable energy targets.

Energy Transition Support: The green hydrogen initiative supports India's broader energy transition goals, including the reduction of reliance on fossil fuels and the promotion of clean energy alternatives.

Infrastructure Development: The investment will fund the necessary infrastructure for hydrogen production, storage, and distribution. This comprehensive approach is critical for establishing a successful hydrogen economy.

Future Prospects: With the planned investment and technological advancements, India is positioning itself as a major player in the global green hydrogen market. This initiative is expected to have far-reaching benefits for both the environment and the economy.

This strategic move highlights India’s dedication to leading the charge in green hydrogen production and sustainable energy solutions, reinforcing its commitment to environmental stewardship and innovation.

Airfare hike not tied to increased airport charges; ACI

The Airports Council International (ACI) stated that rising airfares are not linked to increased airport charges. Airport charges are crucial for infrastructure development within the commercial aviation ecosystem, but they remain a minimal part of the overall airfare. Stefano Baronci, Director General of ACI Asia Pacific & Middle East, emphasized that airports are infrastructure-intensive businesses, with costs dominated by maintaining essential infrastructure such as runways, taxiways, aprons, and terminal buildings. He noted that neglecting the capital expenditure needed to support future g..
