The green hydrogen momentum of India received an impressive boost in October 2025, with the country progressing on various levels, including technological development, infrastructural development, and global cooperation. Also, the month marked the way hydrogen is taking center stage in the clean energy aspirations of India, with initiatives being taken to move both rural biomass use to big industrial centers and vice versa. The support of policies in the framework of the National Green Hydrogen Mission and state-level policies, as well as the collaboration across borders, is creating a strong hydrogen value chain. Moreover, the increased attention to the use of biomass as a source of hydrogen, port-oriented development, and e-mobility infrastructure is an indication of a new stage of adoption, when sustainability and economic growth are being combined.
Punjab Energy Development Agency, IISc Partnered for Pilot Project on Green Hydrogen from Paddy Straw
On October 8, 2025, Punjab Energy Development Agency entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with the Indian Institute of Science to develop a groundbreaking Pilot Demonstration Project to produce Green Hydrogen using biomass (especially paddy straw). The project will address the issue of stubble burning, enhance air quality, and boost the rural economy by offering farmers new sources of income and providing new jobs in the green energy industry. The project will help in the National Green Hydrogen Mission in the country.
Three Major Ports Recognized as Green Hydrogen Hubs under the National Green Hydrogen Mission
On October 10, 2025, the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) formally recognized three major ports, Deendayal Port Authority (Gujarat), V.O. Chidambaranar Port Authority (Tamil Nadu), and Paradip Port Authority (Odisha), as Green Hydrogen Hubs under the National Green Hydrogen Mission (NGHM). This recognition marks a significant step towards creating an integrated hydrogen ecosystem and advancing India’s transition towards clean energy.
The National Green Hydrogen Mission, launched by the Government of India, aims to position the country as a global hub for the production, utilization, and export of green hydrogen and its derivatives. The Mission promotes the development of large-scale hydrogen hubs to serve as focal points for production and consumption, thereby facilitating the establishment of a sustainable and competitive hydrogen economy.
KP Group inked a pact with the Government to set up a Network of Fuel Stations for Hydrogen & Electric Vehicles Across the State
On October 10, 2025, the Surat-based KP group, which is into solar power generation, signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the state government during the Vibrant Gujarat Regional Conference for setting up fuel stations for Hydrogen and Electric vehicles across Gujarat at an investment of around INR 8,000 crore (~USD 908 million).
Within the contract, KP Group, one of the most successful renewable energy conglomerates in the country, will install a system of hydrogen and electric vehicle (EV) fuel stations in Gujarat, which will be among the first significant steps in developing the infrastructure of e-mobility in the state.
India and Australia Launched Green Hydrogen Taskforce for Clean Energy Collaboration
On October 17, 2025, the India-Australia Green Hydrogen Taskforce (IAGHT) was a joint initiative under the India-Australia Renewable Energy Partnership (REP). It was set up by the Prime Ministers of Australia and India to identify practical ways both countries could work together to grow their green hydrogen industries.
The Taskforce brought together leading experts from government, industry, and research institutions. It explored opportunities for collaboration in:
technology
supply chains
workforce development
knowledge sharing.
Tuticorin’s VOCPA Signed INR 1.27 Lakh Crore (~USD 14,409 million) Green Energy Pacts to Become South India’s Hydrogen Hub
On October 31, 2025, Mumbai, V.O. Chidambaranar Port Authority (VOCPA) signed 28 Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) with leading players in the green energy sector, collectively representing an investment exceeding INR 1.27 Lakh Crore (~USD 14,409 million).
Among the key MoUs, the first was signed with Green Infra Renewable Energy Farms Pvt. Ltd. (GIREFPL), a subsidiary of the Sembcorp Group, to develop a common storage and tanking plant that will be exclusively used to store green ammonia and other derivatives based on hydrogen, which is an investment of about INR 25,400 crore (~USD 2,882 million).
The second MoU was exchanged with ACME Green Hydrogen and Chemicals Private Limited for a 1,200 MTPD green ammonia project valued at INR 12,000 crore (~USD 1,362 million), whilst the third was signed with CGS Energy Private Limited for a 300 TPD green ammonia production facility, at an investment of INR 5,000 crore (~USD 567 million).
Thus, these alliances highlight the increasing presence of Tamil Nadu in the ecosystem of green hydrogen and ammonia in India, which correlates with the National Green Hydrogen Mission and the state's desire to develop the industrial sector, low-carbon.
The year 2025, in October, became a turning point in the history of green hydrogen in India, as innovation was accepted and implemented. In converting agricultural waste into clean fuel, creating hydrogen stations, and international task forces, each initiative showed the effort of India to develop a self-dependent and decarbonized economy. The coordination between government policy, investment in the industry, and its involvement with other countries is speeding up the process of the country becoming energy independent. With the growth of hydrogen infrastructure and the increasing amount of research, India is gradually becoming a clean fuel technology powerhouse around the world--the future of clean fuel technology.
