The India Hydrogen Alliance (IH2A) has urged the Indian government to allocate an additional USD 2.5 billion for the National Green Hydrogen Mission (NGHM) in the upcoming Budget to support the demand side incentives, capital expenditures, and hydrogen hub development. IH2A emphasized the necessity for this budget increase to address industry concerns regarding slow project development and the absence of offtake agreements for green hydrogen. Proposed solutions include demand side incentives, capex subsidies, and the establishment of green hydrogen development corporations (GHDCs). IH2A's recommendation aims to secure offtake-linked demand side incentives for various industrial sectors like refineries, fertilizers, steel, chemicals, and heavy-duty transport. By increasing the budget allocation, IH2A aims to boost the development of green hydrogen projects, enabling India to achieve its green hydrogen ambitions and 2030 targets. The alliance, comprising global and Indian companies, focuses on fostering public-private partnerships to drive down hydrogen production costs and enhance the local supply chain for sustainable economic development.
