India Fast-tracks Hydrogen in Industrial Transition

India’s green hydrogen ambitions moved beyond policy rhetoric in 2025. The government’s ₹19,744 crore National Green Hydrogen Mission aims for 5mn tonnes annual production by 2030, with initial facilities taking shape in Gujarat’s industrial belt, Odisha’s port complexes and Tamil Nadu’s renewable corridors. Production costs remain challenging at $3-5 per kilogram, well above the $1 threshold needed for commercial viability against fossil alternatives. However, manufacturers are banking on scale economics and improved electrolyser technology to bridge this gap within five years. Industrial buyers face mounting pressure from global supply chains demanding carbon-neutral inputs. Fertiliser producers, oil refineries and steel mills—sectors consuming most of India’s current 6mn tonnes of...

Hydrogen revolution catapults India toward global clean energy superpower status

Government officials have outlined India’s national hydrogen mission as a transformative initiative that will establish the country as a global centre for hydrogen technology development, targeting both domestic energy transition requirements and emerging export opportunities in clean fuel markets. The comprehensive strategy encompasses production, storage, distribution, and application technologies across industrial and transportation sectors. The mission framework includes substantial public investment in research and development facilities, pilot project deployment, and manufacturing capacity creation for electrolysis equipment and fuel cell technologies. Industry partnerships with international technology providers are expected to accelerate domestic capability development whilst en...

Weekly Energy Brief : September 1- September 7

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY India’s energy system showed resilience amid geopolitical stress. The U.S. 50% tariff shock was offset by Russia’s ~$7/bbl discount, sustaining flows through a ~6 mb/d shadow market while the Indian crude basket hovered near $70.71/bbl; pump prices in Delhi stayed broadly steady. Policy tailwinds accelerated the transition: ALMM List-II became mandatory for solar tenders, and a forthcoming GST reset cuts rates on renewable components to 5% while lifting coal/lignite to 18%, sharpening clean-power economics. Renewables reached 237 GW, with H1-2025 clean generation at ~236 TWh (+20% y/y); domestic module capacity now exceeds 100 GW. Corporates advanced green hydrogen, storage, and ammonia projects, as regulators tightened ESG: SEBI’s value-chain reporting is voluntary in ...

India Energy & Climate Comprehensive Briefing

Executive Summary India’s energy sector in 2025 reflects rapid diversification and new challenges. Oil and gas remain central, but import dependence has pushed focus toward **LNG imports India** and diversified crude sourcing. **Coal production India** surpassed one billion tonnes, ensuring supply security, though transport infrastructure constraints persist. **Renewable energy in India** posted record growth, with rooftop solar and wind gaining momentum alongside major policy changes such as the removal of pooled tariffs. Clean electricity accounted for 25% of generation in H1 2025. Meanwhile, **climate change impact India** intensified, from devastating monsoon floods to record internal displacements and worsening heat stress. The Sundarbans and India’s coastline highlight urgent ...

Reliance bets big on green hydrogen with new Gujarat complex

Reliance Industries is moving ahead with construction of a green hydrogen complex in Jamnagar, Gujarat, positioning itself at the centre of India’s nascent hydrogen economy. The $10bn project, announced by chairman Mukesh Ambani, will anchor Reliance’s broader push into renewable fuels. It will integrate solar and wind capacity with electrolyser technology to produce green hydrogen at scale, with first output targeted for 2027. India has set a goal of producing 5m tonnes of green hydrogen annually by 2030 as part of its clean energy transition. Reliance intends to supply both domestic industry and export markets in Europe and Asia, where demand is growing under net-zero mandates. The Jamnagar complex will also manufacture electrolysers and advanced fuel cells. Reliance executives ...

BPCL’s hydrogen pivot signals a new phase for India’s refining giant

Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd (BPCL) posted a stronger-than-expected profit in the first quarter of FY26, with net earnings of ₹61.24 billion against market estimates closer to ₹57 billion. Softer crude costs and improved marketing spreads underpinned the numbers, but management is keen to highlight a different narrative: the company’s accelerating bet on green hydrogen. BPCL has begun pilot projects to produce hydrogen for refinery desulphurisation and has partnered with KPIT and the Kerala government on India’s first hydrogen bus corridor. “Hydrogen-powered mobility is the future of sustainable transportation,” Chairman G. Krishnakumar told reporters in Kochi, underscoring the ambition to leapfrog conventional gas. The strategy mirrors Europe’s majors. Repsol in Spain and Italy’...

Reliance Winds Up NeuComm Subsidiary, Refocuses on Energy Transition

By Newscript News Network August 20, 2025 Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) has formally completed the winding-up of its US-based subsidiary, Reliance NeuComm, by filing a Certificate of Termination with the Secretary of State of Texas. Though the unit had long ceased operations, its closure highlights the company’s ongoing portfolio rationalisation strategy. Industry watchers view this as part of Chairman Mukesh Ambani’s renewed focus on high-growth areas in India, particularly telecom, retail, new energy and materials. Over the past three years, RIL has consolidated its international presence while funnelling capital into domestic projects, ranging from green hydrogen and solar manufacturing to the next phase of Jio’s digital expansion. “Reliance is pruning global entities th...

India’s Green Hydrogen Mission Gains Momentum

By Newscript News Network August 20,2025 India’s National Green Hydrogen Mission has allocated 3,000MW electrolyser capacity and 862,000 tonnes/year hydrogen production to 19 firms, including Reliance, Adani, L&T, NTPC, and IOC. The projects will pilot hydrogen use in steel, shipping, and fertilisers, positioning India as a global supplier. “This is about creating confidence for investors and global partners,” said a senior official. Analysts say India is moving faster than Europe, where regulations slow progress. Challenges remain around electrolyser costs and renewable integration, but India’s pivot signals it could become a hydrogen exporter rather than importer.
