National Green Hydrogen Mission (NGHM)
Approved by the Union Cabinet in January 2023, the National Green Hydrogen Mission is spearheaded by MNRE with a budget of ₹19,744 crore through 2029-30. Green hydrogen is hydrogen produced using renewable energy through the electrolysis of water, with near-zero lifecycle GHG emissions. The mission positions India as a global hub for green hydrogen production, utilisation, and export.
- Production target: 5 MMT (million metric tonnes) per annum by 2030
- Associated renewable energy addition: ~125 GW
- Export aspiration: up to 10 MMT annually by 2030
- Investment target: ₹8 lakh crore; expected job creation: 6 lakh jobs
- CO₂ abatement target: ~50 MMT per annum by 2030
- Key programme: SIGHT (Strategic Interventions for Green Hydrogen Transition) — incentivises electrolyser manufacturing and green hydrogen production
