New Delhi, November 2025: India may fall short of its ambitious 2030 green hydrogen production targets as demand remains weaker than projected, according to industry experts. Despite strong policy support, subsidy programmes, and large-scale project announcements, the domestic market has struggled to create adequate consumption avenues to justify rapid capacity expansion.

Analysts suggest that industrial users—such as steel, fertiliser, and refining sectors—are yet to adopt green hydrogen at scale due to high costs and lack of long-term demand security. While India aims to position itself as a global hub for clean fuel, stakeholders believe that steady demand creation, competitive pricing, and export partnerships will be essential to meeting future goals. An accelerated roadmap and clearer market incentives could help revive momentum towards the 2030 target.
