Explore Green Hydrogen
India Program
To further complement these ongoing efforts, India is prioritising green hydrogen as a potential solution to decarbonise hard-to abate sectors such as refinery, ammonia, methanol, iron and steel and heavy-duty trucking.
Prime Minister Modi recently announced the National Hydrogen Mission with the aim of making India the world’s largest hydrogen hub. The efforts of the Mission has resulted in the recently approved Green Hydrogen Policy. India’s distinct advantage in terms of low-cost renewable electricity, complemented by rapidly falling electrolyser prices, can enable green hydrogen to be not just economical compared to fossil-fuel based hydrogen but also compared to the green hydrogen being produced around the globe. Adoption of green hydrogen can enable India to abate 3.6 gigatonnes of CO2 emissions cumulatively between now and 2050. This can be a significant lever for the nation to contribute towards its recently announced climate targets and net-zero vision.

India’s Green Hydrogen Policy
Most large economies including India have committed to net zero targets. Transition to Green Hydrogen and Green Ammonia is one of the major requirements for reduction of emissions, especially in the hard to abate sectors. Government of India have had under consideration a number of policy measures in order to facilitate the transition from fossil fuel I fossil fuel based feed stocks to Green Hydrogen / Green Ammonia both as energy carriers and as chemical feed stock for different sectors.
After careful consideration, the Government of India have framed the policy on Green Hydrogen which provides the following:
Definition of Green Hydrogen
Green Hydrogen/Ammonia is defined as Hydrogen/Ammonia produced by electrolysis using Renewable Energy or from biomass.
Transmission Charge Waiver
A 25-year waiver on inter-state transmission charges is offered for projects commissioned before 30th June 2025.
Power Sourcing
Flexibility
Green Hydrogen/Ammonia can be produced using co-located or remotely sourced Renewable Energy with Open Access granted within 15 days.
Banking Period
Renewable Energy used for Green Hydrogen/Ammonia can be banked for a period of up to 30 days.
Banking Charges Limit
Banking charges shall not exceed the difference between average renewable tariffs and Day Ahead Market prices.
Priority Connectivity
Connectivity to the ISTS at both generation and production ends will be prioritized under relevant electricity transmission rules.
Land in RE Parks
Land within Renewable Energy Parks may be allotted for Green Hydrogen/Ammonia production facilities.
Manufacturing Zones
Production units for Green Hydrogen/Ammonia can be set up in designated Government Manufacturing Zones.
Port Bunkers
Producers may establish storage bunkers near ports for exports; land will be provided by port authorities at applicable rates.
RPO Compliance Credit
Renewable energy used for production will count towards the Renewable Purchase Obligation (RPO) of the producer or DISCOM.
DISCOM Procurement Option
Distribution licensees may supply renewable energy to producers, charging procurement cost, wheeling, and minimal margin.
Single-Window Portal
MNRE will create a unified portal to streamline approvals for manufacturing, transport, storage, and distribution processes.
Demand Aggregation
To ensure competitive pricing, MNRE may aggregate demand and organize consolidated bids through implementing agencies.
