India has strengthened its position in the global clean energy sector by securing green hydrogen offtake commitments totaling 555,610 metric tonnes per annum as of October 2026. According to the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy, Indian companies have signed 23 supply agreements since the launch of the National Green Hydrogen Mission (NGHM) in 2023. More than 70% of these commitments are intended for international markets, highlighting India’s growing role in the global green fuel trade.
The momentum accelerated significantly in 2026, with companies entering into 18 additional agreements covering more than 400,000 metric tonnes of green hydrogen equivalent annually. These projects are projected to attract investments of approximately $9.5 billion. The commitments represent around 11% of the country’s target to achieve annual green hydrogen production capacity of at least 5 million metric tonnes by 2030.
Launched with an initial allocation of approximately $2.51 billion, the National Green Hydrogen Mission aims to strengthen India’s renewable energy infrastructure. The initiative is also expected to facilitate the addition of 125 gigawatts of renewable energy capacity and generate more than 600,000 full-time employment opportunities.
Among the major developments, ACME Group has agreed to supply 488,000 metric tonnes of green ammonia annually to Japan’s IHI and 100,000 metric tonnes of green methanol to Mitsubishi Gas Chemical. Meanwhile, Reliance Industries Limited has signed a long-term supply agreement with South Korea’s Samsung C&T Corporation worth more than $3 billion, with deliveries scheduled to begin in 2028.
On the domestic front, agreements under the Strategic Interventions for Green Hydrogen Transition (SIGHT) Programme cover the supply of 670,000 metric tonnes of green ammonia annually to 11 fertilizer plants, supporting the country’s transition toward cleaner industrial energy.
