Our POV · 2026
India green hydrogen market entry strategy
India’s green hydrogen market is at the frontier of global clean energy development – with the National Green Hydrogen Mission committing $2.4B in government support, a 5 MTPA production target by 2030, SECI conducting India’s first green hydrogen tenders, and Indian industry including steel, fertiliser, and refining all beginning hydrogen pilot programmes. International electrolyser manufacturers, hydrogen storage technology companies, fuel cell businesses, and green hydrogen project developers are all evaluating India as a strategic green hydrogen market. GreyRadius helps hydrogen companies validate Indian demand, access National Green Hydrogen Mission incentives, identify partners, and raise capital.
Why now? India’s NGHM incentive application windows are open – the Strategic Interventions for Green Hydrogen Transition (SIGHT) programme is actively disbursing incentives for electrolyser manufacturing and green hydrogen production with defined application timelines in 2024–2026. The hydrogen technology companies that access NGHM incentives in this window will have competitive cost advantages that persist through the decade.

Market Intelligence
What the data says.
India’s green hydrogen market is projected to reach $8B by 2030 – growing from near zero as NGHM incentives, industrial demand, and declining electrolyser cost all combine to make green hydrogen commercially viable.
India’s SIGHT scheme offers production-linked incentives for electrolyser manufacturing – creating the world’s most significant government co-investment in domestic electrolyser production outside China.
India’s fertiliser sector is the world’s largest captive green hydrogen demand opportunity – 8 million tonnes of grey hydrogen currently used in fertiliser production can be replaced by green hydrogen at competitive cost.
India’s steel sector green hydrogen pilot programmes are accelerating – JSW, Tata Steel, and SAIL are all running green hydrogen steel trials that create near-term demand for hydrogen technology.
Market Reality
What makes this market hard.
- Green hydrogen cost competitiveness is still developing – without NGHM incentives, Indian green hydrogen is not yet cost-competitive with grey hydrogen requiring careful incentive programme navigation.
- Electrolyser supply chain in India is nascent – components, membranes, and manufacturing expertise for electrolyser production at scale require significant supply chain development investment.
- Water availability for green hydrogen production is constrained in many locations – India’s water scarcity conflicts with electrolyser water requirements requiring careful site selection.
- NGHM incentive disbursement timelines can be slower than announced – government programme execution pace requires conservative financial planning.
