The Mission’s key efforts include identifying regions capable of supporting large-scale green hydrogen hubs, with major Indian ports Deendayal, Paradip, and Tuticorin earmarked as hubs to bolster infrastructure. Additionally, pilot projects will utilize green hydrogen in the shipping sector following guidelines, underscoring India’s commitment to sustainable practices.
Complementing these efforts, the Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board has established the first gas trading exchange, Indian Gas Exchange Limited, to enable efficient gas trading and availability across India.
Through such initiatives, the Mission targets a green hydrogen production capacity of 5 million tons per year by 2030, highlighting India’s commitment to a greener future.
