India’s green hydrogen push slows as weak demand, high costs, and limited infrastructure stall most projects despite ambitious national targets.

• Of 158 planned projects, very few operate, as 94% remain announced only, reflecting slow commissioning and limited economic incentives today.
• High costs, weak demand, and inadequate storage and transport infrastructure slow development, risking delay of India’s planned five MMTPA goal.
• Experts recommend purchase obligations, demand aggregation, and shared hydrogen hubs to reduce costs, stimulate adoption, and support India’s broader decarbonisation.
