India's Green Hydrogen Transition: Strategic Incentives for Sustainable Energy Future
Key Ideas
  • The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy in India has announced the guidelines for implementing the 'Strategic Interventions for Green Hydrogen Transition' program, specifically focusing on Green Hydrogen production incentives.
  • The program includes a significant capacity of 450,000 TPA of Green Hydrogen, with a portion reserved for biomass-based pathways and the rest for technology-agnostic pathways, aiming to reduce dependence on fossil fuel imports.
  • Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI) is the implementing agency for this program, and the bidding process will be based on the least average incentive quoted by the bidder, with specific capacity limits for different pathways.
  • The National Green Hydrogen Mission, launched in January 2023, with a substantial budget, aims to propel India towards self-reliance in clean energy, leading to economy decarbonisation and potential technology and market leadership in Green Hydrogen.
The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy in India has introduced the Scheme Guidelines for the 'Strategic Interventions for Green Hydrogen Transition (SIGHT) Programme - Component II: Incentive Scheme for Green Hydrogen Production.' The program aims to boost the production of Green Hydrogen in the country and reduce reliance on traditional fossil fuels. The latest tranche, Tranche-II, will have a capacity of 450,000 TPA of Green Hydrogen, with a specific allocation for biomass-based pathways and technology-agnostic pathways. Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI) will oversee the implementation of this tranche. Bidding for the program will be based on the least average incentive quoted by the bidders, with different capacity limits for different pathways. The National Green Hydrogen Mission, initiated in January 2023, with a substantial budget allocation, is part of India's vision to achieve self-reliance through clean energy. This mission is expected to play a vital role in decarbonising the economy, reducing reliance on fossil fuel imports, and positioning India as a leader in Green Hydrogen technology and market.
