India is intensifying its commitment to green hydrogen production, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi highlighting this initiative during his Independence Day address. The National Green Hydrogen Mission (NGHM), launched in 2023, aims to produce 5 million metric tonnes of green hydrogen annually by 2030, significantly contributing to India's climate goals of reducing carbon emissions by 1 billion tonnes and achieving net-zero emissions by 2070. Union Minister Dr. Jitendra Singh emphasized the mission's role in decarbonizing heavy industries, transportation, and power generation, while fostering innovation through international partnerships. The government plans to increase non-fossil fuel energy capacity to 500 GW, with a substantial focus on supporting green hydrogen production. Additionally, Dr. Singh announced an Indian astronaut's upcoming journey to the International Space Station as a milestone in Indo-US space cooperation, further solidifying collaborative efforts in clean energy. The initiative is part of India's broader strategy to enhance energy self-reliance and address global climate challenges.
