Green hydrogen push expands as 13 Indian states roll out policies to accelerate clean energy transition
In India, BioEnergy Times reported that India’s green hydrogen sector is witnessing rapid policy expansion, with 13 states either introducing dedicated frameworks or integrating hydrogen-focused measures into their existing renewable energy and industrial policies, reflecting growing alignment with the National Green Hydrogen Mission (NGHM).
Union Minister for New and Renewable Energy Pralhad Joshi said six states have already notified dedicated green hydrogen policies, while seven others have incorporated hydrogen-related provisions within broader policy structures, according to the report.
The newly launched certification portal, developed by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE), is designed to streamline certification processes under the Green Hydrogen Certification Scheme of India. It aims to improve transparency, ensure traceability, and establish a standard framework for verifying green hydrogen production across the country. Officials said the system is expected to strengthen investor confidence and support the sector’s growth, the report added.
According to the minister, state governments are playing a crucial role in accelerating adoption by offering policy support, financial incentives and regulatory facilitation for hydrogen production, storage, transport and end-use applications.
