India Green Hydrogen Market Size & Forecast
The India green hydrogen market was valued at USD 22.88 Million in 2023 and is expected to grow at a strong CAGR of around 69.8% during the forecast period (2024-2032). This is mainly owing to the development of green hydrogen which has emerged as a priority for multilateral institutions and private funders.
India Green Hydrogen Market Analysis
India is currently the world’s third-largest economy in terms of energy consumption, and the country’s demand for energy is projected to increase by 35% by 2030. However, India has also committed to achieving net zero emissions by 2070, as announced at the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Glasgow (COP26) in 2021. To meet its energy needs while reducing emissions in hard-to-abate sectors on the path to net zero, green hydrogen is critical. To support green hydrogen production and consumption, the Indian government launched the National Green Hydrogen Mission in early 2022, which will provide roughly $2.3 billion in incentive funding between 2022 and 2030. Currently, India produces 6.5 million metric tonnes per annum (MMTPA) of hydrogen, mostly for use in crude oil refineries and fertilizer production. In addition, various key players in hydrogen and its derivatives production investing in the development of green hydrogen infrastructure are accelerating the demand for green hydrogen in the country.
India Green Hydrogen Market Trends
Growing Hydrogen Infrastructure Development in India.
- The Indian government has recognized the potential of green hydrogen in contributing to the country’s energy security and decarbonization goals. In response, it has launched several initiatives and policies to foster growth in this sector. One of the most significant steps is the National Hydrogen Mission, announced in 2021, which aims to scale up the production of hydrogen and make India a global hub for green hydrogen production and export. This mission includes targets for generating green hydrogen and establishing standards for its production, storage, and distribution.
- Infrastructure development is a key aspect of this initiative. The government is supporting the construction of facilities for large-scale hydrogen production, particularly through partnerships with private and public sector enterprises. Major Indian corporations, including energy companies and conglomerates, have committed to investing in green hydrogen projects, signaling strong industry support.
India Green Hydrogen Market Opportunities
Transitioning to hydrogen-fuelled vehicles:
- Transitioning to hydrogen-fueled vehicles, particularly buses, trucks, and commercial fleets, could dramatically reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the urban transport sector. Several Indian cities struggle with severe air pollution, and shifting public and commercial transport to hydrogen could improve air quality significantly. Furthermore, hydrogen fuel cells offer advantages over battery-electric vehicles, such as faster refueling times and longer range, which are critical for the viability of commercial transport.
- The government’s National Hydrogen Mission underscores this by aiming to develop hydrogen fuel cell technology in India and deploying pilot projects for hydrogen-powered buses and cars. Moreover, strategic partnerships and collaborations with global technology leaders and investors can accelerate the development and adoption of hydrogen technology, creating a robust supply chain and infrastructure.
West India is Expected to Grow with Significant CAGR During Forecast Period
The key player in the western state of India is further accelerating green hydrogen development in the country. Currently, Reliance industries is developing a significant green hydrogen project in Gujarat, reflecting a substantial commitment to the green energy sector, and contributing to India’s broader strategy for a cleaner and more sustainable future. These developments are critical as they place RIL among the top innovators reshaping the clean hydrogen landscape in the Asia-Pacific region, demonstrating a robust plan to advance the hydrogen economy and support India’s drive toward achieving carbon neutrality. Similarly, in 2023, Adani Group had invested $2.5 billion in developing a backward integrated value chain for its green hydrogen project and is on track to implement the first phase of the project with an annual capacity of 1 million tons by FY27
