India’s Clean Energy Leadership in Green Hydrogen
By Ambassador Manjeev Singh Puri, Distinguished Fellow, The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI) India has become a global leader in making progress on clean energy. By the end of December 2025, non-fossil fuel sources accounted for 51.93 per cent of India’s installed power capacity, crossing the 50 per cent mark set by India’s second Nationally […]
India has emerged as a global leader in clean energy progress, with non-fossil fuel sources accounting for 51.93% of its installed power capacity by the end of December 2025. This achievement aligns with India's development strategy, which combines renewable energy growth, energy efficiency, nuclear power, green hydrogen, carbon sinks, and carbon markets with industrial competitiveness and job creation.
Green hydrogen, in particular, has become a crucial aspect of this strategy due to its potential to decarbonise sectors where direct electrification may not be sufficient. The National Green Hydrogen Mission aims to produce 5 million metric tonnes of green hydrogen annually by 2030, with production capacity already allocated to 18 companies and 15 firms awarded electrolyser manufacturing capacity.
India's green hydrogen strategy also includes international cooperation under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement, positioning the country to contribute to future clean energy trade.
