Several major industrial houses have announced plans to facilitate India's adoption of green hydrogen. However, they are all premised on India being able to access a reliable stream of components, upgrading the manufacturing and skill levels of its small and medium manufacturing enterprises and developing a transmission network that can supply the hydrogen produced from supply-spots to industrial centres across the country. Many advanced economies, which have also announced plans and policies to develop such an economy and given their advanced industrial infrastructure, can steal a march over India. Green hydrogen development is still in the nascent stages globally and while India can take the lead in being a major producer, provided it develops the necessary infrastructure to execute all these intermediary steps. |
