India Set to Capture 10 Percent of Global Green Hydrogen Demand by 2030: MoS MNRE
India is poised to account for 10 percent of global green hydrogen demand by 2030, Union Minister of State for MNRE and Power Shripad Y. Naik said at the 3rd International Conference on Green Hydrogen (ICGH 2025) in New Delhi.

The Minister noted that India’s energy transition is among the boldest and fastest in the world, and the country is steadily advancing toward its target of 500 GW of non-fossil-fuel capacity by 2030 and net-zero emissions by 2070.
He added that India’s installed non-fossil-fuel-based power generation capacity has reached nearly 260 GW, led by solar and wind energy. “This strong renewable base has now empowered India to take the next decisive step – the Green Hydrogen Revolution – converting renewable strength into clean molecules that can decarbonise industries, fuel transport, and enable global trade,” he said.
Naik pointed out that India’s green hydrogen market is projected to grow at a compound annual rate of 20–40 percent over the next decade. With its renewable-energy abundance, strategic geography and enabling policy environment, India is poised to become both a leading producer and exporter of green hydrogen and its derivatives such as green ammonia and methanol.
He emphasised that India is not merely participating but leading the global hydrogen transition through robust policy frameworks, standardisation initiatives and international collaboration. The Minister urged industry and investors to accelerate project execution, scale up electrolyser manufacturing, and strengthen innovation pipelines. He also encouraged State Governments to develop hydrogen hubs and industrial clusters to anchor local economies.
Highlighting the rapid progress of the National Green Hydrogen Mission (NGHM) launched in January 2023, Naik said that the Mission has transitioned from planning to implementation, with incentive schemes worth INR 17,000 crore supporting green hydrogen production and electrolyser manufacturing.
Akash Tripathi, Managing Director, Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI), underlined that India’s pursuit of cleaner energy, industrial competitiveness, and global leadership in hydrogen aligns closely with the goals of the National Green Hydrogen Mission.
He highlighted SECI’s role through which globally competitive prices, among the lowest in the world, have been discovered for the supply of green ammonia. He said that these outcomes are strengthening the bankability of projects, attracting long-term capital, and enhancing investor confidence. Tripathi said that the ongoing discussions at ICGH 2025 focus on integrating hydrogen production with industrial clusters, developing investment structures, and enabling blended finance mechanisms for large-scale industrial adoption.
Abhay Bakre, Mission Director, National Mission for Green Hydrogen, said that within less than three years since the launch of the National Green Hydrogen Mission, India has emerged as one of the fastest-growing ecosystems for hydrogen development in the world. The discussions during the ICGH 2025 are aimed at refining strategies and identifying focus areas for the coming years.
Vineet Mittal, Chairman of Avaada Group, said that India’s green hydrogen journey is rapidly transforming vision into reality through a combination of transparent policies, well-planned projects, and innovation-driven market mechanisms. He noted that India has emerged as a role model in renewable energy, leveraging its abundance of solar resources and technical expertise to become a leader in green energy production.
