India took significant strides in its green hydrogen journey yesterday with two landmark agreements involving German partners, reinforcing its position as an emerging powerhouse in sustainable energy production, export, and infrastructure development. These moves align with the National Green Hydrogen Mission's goals of achieving 5 million tonnes of annual production by 2030, fostering energy security, job creation, and emissions reductions while positioning India as a key su

India's transition to a low-carbon economy is gaining momentum, with green hydrogen emerging as a pivotal element in achieving net-zero emissions by 2070. Green hydrogen, produced via electrolysis using renewable energy sources, offers a versatile, zero-emission alternative for hard-to-abate sectors such as steel, fertilizers, refining, and transportation. At the national level, the Government of India launched the National Green Hydrogen Mission (NGHM) in January 2023, setti

Electrolyzers are critical for green hydrogen production, splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen via electricity from renewables. As of early 2026, the global market is dominated by alkaline (AWE) and proton exchange membrane (PEM) technologies, with anion exchange membrane (AEM) and solid oxide electrolysis cells (SOEC) emerging. Key efficiencies (based on higher heating value, HHV, system level) vary: AWE (~65-75%, mature and cost-effective for large-scale), PEM (~60-70%,

Harnessing hydrogen's promise: India's blueprint for energy independence and export dominance in a decarbonizing world. – Ajay Mishra, DG, RESI As we enter 2026, India's National Green Hydrogen Mission (NGHM), launched three years ago with a ₹19,744 crore commitment, stands as a beacon of strategic foresight amid a global hydrogen sector grappling with recalibration. While the international market faces headwinds—investments pivoting from Europe's stringent regulations, as no
