India Awards 862,000 TPA Green Hydrogen Capacity

21 Aug 2025 CW Team

Naik said India aims to capture 10 per cent of global green hydrogen demand, projected to exceed 100 million tonnes by 2030. “We want to make India not only a major producer but also a global hub for green hydrogen exports,” he said.

The government has also allocated 3,000 MW of electrolyser manufacturing capacity to 15 companies.

Renewable Energy Base

As of June 2025, India’s renewable energy capacity reached 237 GW, including 119 GW from solar, 52 GW from wind, and 49 GW from large hydro. With 8.78 GW of nuclear power, non-fossil fuel sources now contribute more than half of India’s installed generation capacity. Naik said achieving this milestone five years ahead of schedule reflects India’s progress towards its 500 GW non-fossil fuel target for 2030.

Industry Perspectives

At the summit, Rajat Seksaria, Chair of FICCI’s Green Hydrogen Committee and CEO of Adani New Industries, noted the government’s support measures: the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme, the green ammonia auction, and consistent industry engagement.

Vipul Tuli, Chair of FICCI’s Renewable Energy CEOs Committee and Chairman of Sembcorp India, highlighted that in one global tender, green hydrogen was priced lower than blue hydrogen—a significant milestone. However, he warned against chasing short-term gains at the cost of long-term stability.

International Cooperation

Ewa Suwara, Chargé d’affaires of the EU Delegation to India, said the recent India-EU Green Hydrogen Forum in Rotterdam had led to the creation of a Hydrogen Task Force, underscoring joint efforts to address global energy challenges.

Report Launch

The minister also unveiled the FICCI-EY Green Hydrogen Report: India’s Green Hydrogen Ecosystem, which stresses demand from hard-to-abate sectors such as refining, steel, aviation, and fertilisers. The report outlines priority use-cases, procurement models, cost structures, and steps to stimulate demand for a sustainable hydrogen market.

India has awarded 862,000 tonnes per annum (TPA) of green hydrogen production capacity to 19 companies under the National Green Hydrogen Mission, Union Minister of State for Power and New & Renewable Energy Shripad Naik announced at the FICCI Green Hydrogen Summit 2025 in New Delhi.Naik said India aims to capture 10 per cent of global green hydrogen demand, projected to exceed 100 million tonnes by 2030. “We want to make India not only a major producer but also a global hub for green hydrogen exports,” he said.The government has also allocated 3,000 MW of electrolyser manufacturing capacity to 15 companies.Renewable Energy BaseAs of June 2025, India’s renewable energy capacity reached 237 GW, including 119 GW from solar, 52 GW from wind, and 49 GW from large hydro.
