The World Bank has shown confidence in India's efforts towards green hydrogen by extending a second $1.5 billion loan within a year to support the development of a green hydrogen market and related goals. This loan, provided as part of the development policy financing scheme, emphasizes promoting green hydrogen, scaling up renewable energy, and enhancing financial access for these projects. India's policy interventions, including subsidies for manufacturing electrolyzers and green hydrogen, the Carbon Credit Trading Scheme (CCTS), and initiatives like tenders for green ammonia and hydrogen, have garnered positive feedback. The government's actions to generate demand for these green energy sources have not only shaped the country's energy landscape but have also boosted investor confidence. The World Bank will closely monitor the progress of these initiatives until June 2026. This significant endorsement by the World Bank reflects a positive sentiment towards India's green hydrogen policies and marks a crucial step towards fostering a domestic ecosystem for low-carbon energy in the country.
