The green hydrogen mission aims to develop a green hydrogen production capacity of at least five million metric tonnes per year. This ambitious goal reflects India's commitment to renewable energy and combating climate change. Additionally, the mission endeavors to create 6 lakh job opportunities by 2030, spanning various sectors related to green hydrogen production and utilization.

 

To kickstart its implementation, the mission will identify and establish at least two green hydrogen hubs in the initial phase. These hubs will serve as focal points for research, innovation, and large-scale deployment of green hydrogen technologies, contributing significantly to India's energy transition and economic development.

About SIGHT scheme

 

Union Budget 2024–25: Allocation for Green Hydrogen Doubled

 

The Government of India launched the SIGHT scheme, which stands for Strategic Interventions for Green Hydrogen Transition, as a significant initiative to promote the production and use of green hydrogen in the nation. It is part of the National Green Hydrogen Mission, which aims to make India a global leader in green hydrogen production and export by 2030. 

 

The scheme provides financial assistance to manufacturers of electrolyzers, which are the key equipment used to produce green hydrogen from water using renewable energy. The aim is to encourage domestic production of electrolyzers and reduce India's dependence on imports.

 

Additionally, the scheme will provide financial assistance to producers of green hydrogen. The aim is to make green hydrogen more affordable and encourage its use in various sectors, such as transportation, refining, and steelmaking.
