India's government states its green hydrogen capacity is "likely" to reach the goal of 5 million tonnes per year by 2030, driven by the National Green Hydrogen Mission, with significant investment, renewable energy additions (around 125 GW), and incentives for electrolyser manufacturing aimed at creating a global hub for production, use, and export. While some challenges exist, officials express strong confidence, highlighting progress in awarding subsidies and supporting infrastructure for key sectors like steel, fertilizer, and transport

 India's government states its green hydrogen capacity is "likely" to reach the goal of 5 million tonnes per year by 2030, driven by the National Green Hydrogen Mission, with significant investment, renewable energy additions (around 125 GW), and incentives for electrolyser manufacturing aimed at creating a global hub for production, use, and export. While some challenges exist, officials express strong confidence, highlighting progress in awarding subsidies and supporting infrastructure for key sectors like steel, fertilizer, and transport. 
Key Details of the Mission:-
Goal: -
5 MMT (Million Metric Tonnes) per annum green hydrogen capacity by 2030.
Investment: -
Expected to attract over ₹8 lakh crore (about $95 billion).
Renewable Energy: -
Requires about 125 GW of new renewable capacity.
Job Creation: -
Expected to create over 6 lakh jobs.
Key Strategy:-
 Incentives (SIGHT program) for electrolyser manufacturing and production to reduce costs.
Sectoral Demand: -
Steel, fertilizer, transport, and potential for exports are key drivers. 
Government Confidence:-
Ministers, including Pralhad Joshi and Shripad Yesso Naik, have affirmed India is on track, emphasizing ambitious goals set by PM Modi and implementation progress. 
Progress & Challenges:-
Incentives have been awarded to boost domestic electrolyser manufacturing.
Pilot projects are underway in key areas like mobility, shipping, and steel.
Despite optimism, some reports note that few announced projects are operational, and cost/infrastructure hurdles remain. 
To understand the real pace of development, would you be interested in comparing India's current project pipeline (operational, under construction, planned) against its 2030 goals?

State-wise carbon emissions in India show a concentration in western and southern states, with byd as major emitters, particularly from the manufacturing and energy sectors. The highest total CO2 emissions have been linked to states like Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat, Tamil Nadu, and West Bengal, though the specific ranking can vary depending on the data year and the specific pollutants included.
