摘要

The transition toward a sustainable energy future has positioned green hydrogen as a key enabler in achieving carbon neutrality and energy security. Recognizing its potential, India has introduced various regulatory frameworks and policy initiatives to promote green hydrogen production, utilization, and market integration. This chapter explores the regulatory landscape governing green hydrogen in India, assessing key policies such as the National Green Hydrogen Mission, Renewable Purchase Obligations (RPOs), and incentives for electrolyzer manufacturing. It highlights the role of government agencies in shaping the sector, the alignment of India’s hydrogen roadmap with global best practices, and the regulatory challenges that need to be addressed for large-scale commercialization. Additionally, the analysis provides insights into grid integration, financial incentives, and compliance mechanisms necessary for fostering a green hydrogen economy. The chapter concludes by emphasizing the need for a coherent policy approach to overcome infrastructure bottlenecks and successfully deploy green hydrogen as a mainstream energy carrier.
