In an interview with Abha Rustagi, Vineet Mittal, Chairman of Avaada Group, highlighted the significant role of green hydrogen in India's energy transition. Mittal emphasized that green hydrogen is not merely an alternative fuel but a game-changer in achieving energy self-sufficiency and decarbonizing hard-to-abate industries. Avaada's commitment to sustainability is evident through its ambitious renewable energy projects, including solar and wind installations, pumped hydro storage, and battery energy solutions. Avaada's focus on green hydrogen includes a major investment in a 500,000-tonne green ammonia plant in Odisha. This initiative aligns with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision for India to become a global leader in green hydrogen production. The company has partnered with technology experts like Casale to ensure the successful implementation of green hydrogen projects. Discussing India's green hydrogen market, Mittal emphasized the need for supportive policies like Green Hydrogen Purchase Obligations (GHPOs), Viability Gap Funding (VGF), and Production-Linked Incentives (PLI) to make green hydrogen cost-competitive and drive market growth. By drawing parallels to the success of solar and wind energy due to policy support, Mittal envisions a similar trajectory for green hydrogen adoption in India. Avaada's collaborations with policymakers and industry stakeholders play a vital role in shaping India's energy future. Through active engagement with associations and government bodies, Avaada contributes to policy discussions and advocates for sustainable energy practices. Mittal's leadership in key industry groups reflects Avaada's commitment to driving the renewable energy agenda forward and ensuring a sustainable energy landscape for India.
