India is advancing its green hydrogen goals with new policies, investment in electrolyzer manufacturing, and strategic projects by key players like Waaree Energies and Advait Energy Transitions, targeting 5 million tonnes annual production by 2030. According to reports from The Financial Express, the government's objective is to build a complete green hydrogen value chain, reduce fossil fuel imports, and make India a global production hub. The scheme was initially launched in January 2023 with an outlay of ₹19,744 crore till FY30, of which ₹17,490 crore is for manufacturing electrolyzers. Recent initiatives, including the launch of the Green Hydrogen Certification Scheme, are also laying the groundwork for exports and commercial adoption.
Waaree Energies is building a complete value chain for new energy, viewing green hydrogen as an integrated opportunity that will drive demand for its electrolyzers, renewable energy assets, and battery energy storage systems. As reported by The Financial Express, the company is investing ₹657 crore in an electrolyzer manufacturing plant in Dungri, Gujarat, with a planned annual capacity of 1 GW. The facility is slated for commercialisation in FY27. Waaree has secured the government Production Linked Scheme, including ₹440-444 crore for 0.3 GW of electrolyzers and ₹510 crore for 90,000 TPA of green hydrogen production. The company has already secured an order book of ₹152 crore in India, including a multi-tech green hydrogen project and a 5-year operations and maintenance contract.
Advait Energy Transitions sees green hydrogen as a core pillar of its long-term growth strategy, with its dedicated subsidiary Advait Green Energy (AGPL) overseeing green hydrogen initiatives. According to The Financial Express, the company has set up an assembly facility for Alkaline Electrolyser Assembly and Balance-of-Plant fabrication, completing Factory Acceptance Test for a 30-MW annual-capacity assembly line. The line can handle electrolyser capacities ranging from 250 kW to 5 MW and up to 20 MW for BoP modules. AGPL plans to expand capacity to 100 MW by Q4FY27 and eventually 300 MW as demand grows. The Green Hydrogen EPC business revenue grew 7% year-on-year to ₹6.2 crore in FY26, accounting for 2% of AGPL's New & Renewable Energy revenue.
JSW Energy has successfully commissioned a commercial-scale Green Hydrogen plant through its renewable energy subsidiary JSW Neo, with a production capacity of 3,800 Tonnes Per Annum (TPA) and 30,000 TPA of Green Oxygen. As reported by The Financial Express, the company has signed a seven-year offtake agreement for both green hydrogen and green oxygen supply. Under the SIGHT program, JSW Energy has received a Notice of Award for an additional 6,500 TPA of green hydrogen capacity. The company has entered into group captive MoUs outlining future capacities of 85-90 KTPA for Green Hydrogen and 720 KTPA for Green Oxygen.
