During the summit, the Minister of State for Power and New and Renewable Energy, Shripad Naik, revealed that India aims to capture nearly 10 percent of global green hydrogen demand, which is expected to exceed 100 million metric tonnes by 2030. The government has awarded 3,000 MW of electrolyser manufacturing capacity to 15 companies, marking significant industrial development in the sector.
India has made substantial progress towards its ambitious green hydrogen production targets, with 862,000 tonnes per annum of production capacity already awarded to 19 companies under the National Green Hydrogen Mission, Naik announced at the FICCI Green Hydrogen Summit 2025.
“We want to make India not only a major producer but also a global hub for green hydrogen export,” Naik said, outlining the country's strategy to position itself as a reliable exporter in the rapidly expanding global market.
The minister highlighted India's renewable energy achievements as the foundation for green hydrogen ambitions. As of June 2025, the cumulative installed renewable energy capacity had reached approximately 237 GW, comprising 119 GW of solar, 52 GW of wind, and 49 GW from large hydroelectric sources. Combined with 8.78 GW of nuclear power, non-fossil fuel sources now represent more than 50 percent of total installed power generation capacity.
“This is a matter of immense pride that we have achieved this key NDC target five years ahead of schedule,” Naik said, crediting the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. India has set a target of 500 GW of non-fossil fuel-based capacity by 2030, requiring annual capacity additions of approximately 50 GW.
Industry leaders at the summit expressed optimism about recent developments and government support. Rajat Seksaria, Chair, FICCI Green Hydrogen Committee and CEO - Green Hydrogen and Derivatives, Adani New Industries, acknowledged the unprecedented government support, highlighting three key achievements; PLI scheme support for the industry, the world's first green ammonia auction creating real demand and absorption capacity for Indian developers, and consistent government commitment that provides crucial confidence to the sector requiring long-term investments.
