India’s National Green Hydrogen Mission (NGHM) aims to position the country as a global leader in green hydrogen by 2030. Green hydrogen, produced using renewable energy, offers a clean alternative to fossil fuels, helping decarbonize hard-to-abate sectors like steel, fertilizers, mobility, and shipping. The Mission focuses on scaling production, promoting domestic manufacturing, fostering R&D through public-private partnerships, developing port-based hydrogen hubs, and implementing certification standards. Despite challenges like high costs, infrastructure gaps, and technology readiness, strategic policy support, financial incentives, and skill development are driving India’s transition toward a sustainable, low-carbon, and energy-secure future.
