The India Green Hydrogen Reality Check 2025 conference brought to the forefront a sensitive issue for the Indian energy transition: the gap between stated goals and concrete results. Organized by the Research Hub for Green Energy and Sustainability at IIT Bombay, with co-organization by HSBC Bank, the meeting brought together policymakers, executives, and experts to critically assess the current state of green hydrogen in the country, in contrast to the ambition of the National Sustainable Hydrogen Mission, which foresees 5 million tons of annual capacity by 2030.
From strategic vision to industrial reality: bottlenecks, choices, and metrics
The resulting report from the conference points out that different paths can be followed: converting hydrogen already used by industry into low-carbon hydrogen can accelerate emission reductions by leveraging existing infrastructure, while creating new dedicated capacity favors innovation, scale, and long-term energy security. Each alternative, however, brings distinct economic, technological, and regulatory implications. The central conclusion of the Reality Check is clear: without well-defined performance indicators—covering costs, supply chain, production capacity, and integration with sectors such as refining, fertilizers, steelmaking, and mobility—ambition risks remaining mere rhetoric. The challenge now is to transform strategic vision into measurable and consistent execution.
