H2 ecosystem development in India

The Government of India announced the National Hydrogen Mission in the Union Budget
2021 for making a hydrogen road map for the country. The Ministry of Petroleum and
Natural Gas is committed to augment the hydrogen supply chain infrastructure in the
country.

Currently, the government is working jointly with several companies on several pilot
projects on Blue Hydrogen, Hydrogen CNG (H-CNG) and Green Hydrogen. The MNRE
has been supporting a broad-based research, development and demonstration (R&D)
programme on hydrogen energy and fuel.

With respect to transportation, the key work has been supported by the Banaras Hindu
University, IIT Delhi, and Mahindra & Mahindra. This has resulted in development and
demonstration of internal combustion engines, two wheelers, three wheelers, and mini
buses that run on hydrogen fuel. Two hydrogen refuelling stations have been established The MNRE has been

Recently, the MNRE gave a go-ahead to NTPC to develop a 4.75GW renewable energy park demonstration
in Gujarat, which will also generate green hydrogen. In order to promote use of green programme on
hydrogen, the Government of India is likely to come up with dollar-denominated Green

Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL) is ramping up its capacities to supply hydrogen. At
a virtual conclave organised by Autocar Professional on 'Meeting Emission Challenges',
Indian Oil Chairman Mr. Shrikant Madhav Vaidya, said, "Indian Oil is committed to the use
of hydrogen, and we are doing a lot of research in this particular aspect”. IOCL is likely to roll

be anywhere between 200 and 400 tonnes per day.

Indian Hydrogen Alliance (IH2A) recommendation

India has the potential to produce green hydrogen from 15–20GW installed capacity by
2030 from expected renewable energy excess capacity and resultant curtailment (with a
450GW national RE target by 2030) as well as link to hydrogen as an energy storage vector.
