Gujarat green hydrogen hub
Gujarat leads India's green hydrogen push with policy support but projects stay at feasibility stage.
In brief
Gujarat leads India's green hydrogen push with policy support but projects stay at feasibility stage. Gujarat has structural advantages for green hydrogen but most large-scale projects remain at feasibility stage. Originally reported by The Economic Times.
Gujarat emerges as key hub
Gujarat is emerging as a key hub for renewable hydrogen development in India with large refinery and ammonia capacity.
Structural advantages
Gujarat has 40 per cent of India's refinery capacity and 30 per cent of ammonia capacity with nearly 50 gigawatts of solar and wind capacity.
Port and trade advantages
At least 40 per cent of India's maritime trade enters through Gujarat ports supporting hydrogen export potential.
State hydrogen strategy
Gujarat finalised its hydrogen strategy in December 2025 setting production targets and financial support for early projects.
Financial incentives
First 500 megawatts of electrolyzer capacity receive capital subsidies for components, battery storage and water desalination.
Production target
Gujarat aims for 3 million metric tonnes of renewable hydrogen production by 2035 the highest among Indian states.
Feasibility stage
Most large-scale projects remain at feasibility stage despite policy support under SIGHT programme.
In short
Gujarat has structural advantages for green hydrogen but most large-scale projects remain at feasibility stage.
