Key highlights of this briefing word “Enabling sustainable demand for inexperienced hydrogen in India” printed by IEEFA are:
• As of August 2025, India had 158 inexperienced hydrogen tasks at varied levels of improvement. Nonetheless, 94% of the deliberate capability is but to maneuver past the announcement stage, 0.1% is below development, and solely 2.8% is operational, highlighting the gradual tempo of undertaking commissioning.
• The first boundaries embrace an absence of dedicated consumers (i.e., unclear demand indicators), excessive manufacturing prices, various definitions of inexperienced hydrogen, and insufficient infrastructure—notably for storage, transportation, and shared services.
• In response to trade estimates, India’s complete hydrogen demand might attain 15–20 million metric tonnes every year (MMTPA) by 2030. Inexperienced hydrogen demand might attain 4.08-6.57 MMTPA if supportive insurance policies are adopted to drive new sectoral purposes in metal, transportation, chemical substances, and exports.
• Setting a globally accepted emissions accounting framework, introducing hydrogen buy obligations, utilising demand aggregation, and growing hydrogen hubs with shared infrastructure are essential to scaling up demand and accelerating undertaking commissioning.
