India Targets 10% Global Green Hydrogen Share

India is steadily advancing toward its ambition of getting a global hustler in green hydrogen, with the eventuality of commanding 10 percent of the world’s demand by 2030. This was stated by Union Minister of State for New and Renewable Energy & Power, Shri Shripad Y. Naik, during the high-position address at the 3rd International Conference on Green Hydrogen (ICGH 2025), held at Bharat Mandapam, New Delhi. The event brought together global leaders, industry experts, and originators to deliberate on the part of hydrogen in shaping a sustainable future. 

Shri Naik stressed that India’s clean energy transition, guided by the vision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, is one of the boldest and swiftest in the world. He said the country is advancing forcefully toward achieving 500 GW of non-fossil energy capacity by 2030 and net-zero emigrations by 2070, as committed under India’s Panchamrit pretensions at Bobby-26. “Our energy metamorphosis isn’t just a policy thing but a public charge,” he said, noting that India’s installed non-fossil energy-grounded power generation capacity has formerly reached nearly 260 GW, primarily from solar and wind energy sources. 

According to the minister, this robust renewable energy base is now propelling India into what he called the “Green Hydrogen Revolution”—a ”decisive coming step in the country’s energy trip. By converting renewable power into clean modes, India is enabling diligence, transport systems, and trade networks to decarbonize at scale. “Green hydrogen will serve as the energy of the future, driving sustainable substance and buttressing India’s leadership in global climate action,” Naik said. 

The minister underscored that India is arising as a mecca for hydrogen trade and technology, projecting a periodic growth rate of 20–40 percent for its green hydrogen request over the coming decade. With its vast renewable eventuality, strategic terrain, and progressive policy ecosystem, India is well-deposited to become both a leading patron and exporter of green hydrogen and its derivations, such as green ammonia and methanol. 

He added that the country’s leadership in the global hydrogen transition is being strengthened through comprehensive policy fabrics, standardization efforts, and transnational collaborations. He called on assiduity players, investors, and state governments to accelerate design perpetration, scale up electrolyzer manufacturing, and produce hydrogen artificial clusters across India. “Our approach to green hydrogen is holistic; it isn’t simply about producing a patch but erecting a frugality around it,” Naik stated. 

Pressing the progress made under the National Green Hydrogen Mission (NGHM), launched in January 2023, Shri Naik blazoned that the charge has moved from vision to action with incitement schemes worth ₹ 17,000 crore to support hydrogen product and electrolyzer manufacturing. systems have formerly been awarded for 3,000 MW per annum of electrolyzer manufacturing and 8.62 lakh metric tonnes per annum of green hydrogen product, reflecting the growing confidence of assiduity stakeholders. 

He further participated that the Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI) has discovered some of the smallest global prices for green ammonia force, increasing affordability and competitiveness in the global request. Under SECI’s enterprise, 7.24 lakh MTPA of green ammonia is being supplied to toxin units, while fresh systems have been sanctioned to supply 20,000 MTPA of green hydrogen to leading oil painting refineries, including IOCL, BPCL, and HPCL. 

“ICGH 2025 demonstrates India’s commitment to driving invention and technology advancement in the green hydrogen sector,” Shri Naik said, stressing that India’s trip from energy dependence to energy leadership is predicated on sustainability, invention, and collaboration. 

Joining the session, Dr. Jitendra Singh, Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Science and Technology, Earth Sciences, and Minister of State for PMO, saluted the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy for uniting experimenters, scientists, and industry leaders under one platform. He described the green hydrogen action as a “whole-of-government, whole-of-nation” trouble that integrates multiple ministries, scientific operations, and artificial sectors. “India’s hydrogen charge is a model of integrated governance, reflecting how public progress can be achieved when all sectors work in community,” Dr. Singh said. 

He noted that several earlier exploration enterprises under the Department of Science and Technology have now been aligned with the Green Hydrogen Mission, noting that technological invention and policy perpetration go hand in hand. Dr. Singh underlined that India’s scientific operations—from biotechnology and biofuels to hydrogen and electric mobility—are being enforced through public-private hookups, icing long-term sustainability and self-reliance. “Our thing is to make a tone-sufficient and encyclopedically competitive hydrogen frugality that will form the backbone of a Viksit Bharat by 2047,” he stated. 

Shri Akash Tripathi, Managing Director of the Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI), stressed how India’s strategic approach to cleaner energy and artificial competitiveness aligns with the National Green Hydrogen Mission’s pretensions. He noted that SECI’s enterprise has strengthened design bankability, attracted global investors, and enhanced confidence in India’s energy sector. The conversations at ICGH 2025, he said, are concentrated on integrating hydrogen products into artificial clusters, developing innovative investment structures, and establishing amalgamated finance models to encourage large-scale relinquishment. 

Shri Abhay Bakre, Mission Director of the National Mission for Green Hydrogen, emphasized that within just three times of its launch, India has surfaced as one of the fastest-growing hydrogen ecosystems in the world. He said the ICGH 2025 sessions are designed to upgrade India’s hydrogen strategy and identify focus areas for invention, structure, and global collaboration in the coming decade. 

Adding an assiduity perspective, Shri Vineet Mittal, Chairman of Avaada Group, said that India’s green hydrogen trip is fleetly turning vision into reality through transparent programs, well-planned systems, and invention-driven requests. He praised India’s capability to work its abundant solar coffers and engineering moxie, transubstantiating the nation into a renewable energy leader. “India isn’t following trends; it is setting them,” he remarked, pressing that green hydrogen will define India’s coming artificial revolution. 

The 3rd International Conference on Green Hydrogen (ICGH 2025) served as a vital platform for advancing global dialogue, erecting hookups, and strengthening India’s leadership in clean energy. With its focus on technology, invention, and sustainability, the event reaffirmed India’s resoluteness to produce a low-carbon frugality that’s both inclusive and encyclopedically competitive. 

Shri Naik concluded his address by stating that India’s green hydrogen revolution represents not only a technological corner but also a societal metamorphosis. “This charge will review how the world views energy, situating India as a central pillar of the global hydrogen value chain. It isn’t just about achieving energy independence; it is about leading the world toward a cleaner, greener, and further sustainable future,” he said.
