Key Ideas
  • India aims to become the global hub for green energy growth, with an expected electrolyser manufacturing capacity of up to 100 GW by 2030.
  • The government has set targets for 5 million metric tonne of installed green hydrogen mission capacity, highlighting a significant commitment towards sustainability.
  • Renewable energy capacity in India has seen significant growth under the leadership, with solar power capacity increasing from 3 GW in 2014 to over 85 GW and wind power capacity from 21 GW to more than 46 GW by June 2024.
Union Minister Pralhad Joshi announced that India is poised to drive green energy growth globally, with an anticipated electrolyser manufacturing capacity of up to 100 GW by 2030. Inaugurating an electrolyser manufacturing facility in Karnataka, he emphasized India's potential as a key player in promoting green hydrogen to decarbonize various sectors. The government's target of achieving 5 million metric tonne of installed green hydrogen mission capacity underscores a strong commitment to sustainability. Minister Joshi highlighted the pivotal role of green hydrogen in reducing carbon footprints across transportation, steel manufacturing, and heavy industries. He lauded India's renewable energy progress under the Prime Minister's leadership, noting a substantial increase in capacity from 76 GW in 2014 to over 195 GW by June 2024. The solar power capacity surged from 3 GW to more than 85 GW, and wind power capacity rose from 21 GW to over 46 GW in the same period. India's focus on renewable energy and green hydrogen signifies a positive step towards a cleaner and sustainable future.
