The National Green Hydrogen Mission, approved by the Union Cabinet in January 2023, aims to position India as a global hub for the production, usage, and export of green hydrogen and its derivatives.
Green hydrogen is produced by splitting water using electricity generated from renewable sources. It offers a clean energy alternative for hard-to-decarbonize industries like steelmaking, shipping, and chemical production.
Key Targets for 2030 The mission aims to achieve a green hydrogen production capacity of at least 5 million metric tonnes (MMT) per annum by 2030, supported by around 125 GW of dedicated renewable energy capacity.
Strategic and Economic Impact The program targets reducing fossil fuel imports by over ₹1 lakh crore and cutting greenhouse gas emissions by 50 MMT annually, supporting India's net-zero goals.
