India’s PSUs target 900 KTPA capacity of green hydrogen by 2030

New Delhi: Union Minister of Petroleum and Natural Gas Hardeep Singh Puri on Saturday said that India is building "trust in every molecule of hydrogen".

The Minister added that the country's public sector units (PSUs) target an overall capacity of 900 kilo tonnes per annum (KTPA) by 2030.

The minister highlighted the progress under the Green Hydrogen Certification Scheme (GHCI) and that state energy companies will save the country Rs1 lakh crore in imports.

"India is building trust in every molecule of hydrogen. The Green Hydrogen Certification Scheme (GHCI), launched in April 2025, ensures hydrogen is genuinely green -- produced using renewable power with emissions below 2 kg carbon dioxide per kg," Puri posted on social media platform X.

"PSUs like IOCL (Indian Oil Corporation Limited), BPCL (Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited), HPCL (Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited), GAIL (Gas Authority of India Limited), ONGC (Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Limited), NRL (Numaligarh Refinery Limited), and CPCL (Chennai Petroleum Corporation Limited) are developing 900 KTPA capacity by 2030, helping replace grey hydrogen and save Rs 1 lakh crore in imports," the Union Minister added.
