National Green Hydrogen Mission
The National Green Hydrogen Mission was approved by the Union Cabinet on January 4, 2023, with an initial outlay of ₹19,744 crore. The mission aims to make India a global hub for the production, utilisation, and export of green hydrogen and its derivatives (principally green ammonia and green methanol). Its headline targets include producing 5 million metric tonnes per annum (MMTPA) of green hydrogen by 2030, creating over 6 lakh jobs, and reducing fossil fuel imports by ₹1 lakh crore annually. The mission is implemented by MNRE.
- Target: 5 MMTPA green hydrogen by 2030; installed renewable energy addition of at least 125 GW alongside.
- Strategic Interventions for Green Hydrogen Transition (SIGHT) programme provides financial incentives for domestic electrolyser manufacturing and green hydrogen production.
- Green hydrogen production cost target: below $1 per kg by 2030 (currently ~$4-6 per kg).
- India's first green hydrogen plant was commissioned at NTPC Simhadri (Andhra Pradesh) in 2023.
