Large project developers are hopeful of signing offtake contracts in CY2025 with off-takers based in Japan, South Korea, etc. In case these contracts fructify projects with investments of several thousand crores would follow,” said Vasisht.</p> <p class="">Sanjay Gupta, CEO, Apollo Green Energy, said that India’s market is not mature enough to handle green hydrogen generation of this scale.<br>“So, companies start looking for off-takers outside, but then the export bill also increases. Ideally, there should be a scenario where it is utilised here in the country just as solar, but till the time that happens, firms have to look at international markets,” he said.<br><br>Gupta, however, added that one positive thing is that if <a href="https://theelectricityhub.com/?s=India">India</a> is able to feed the international markets then it will be competing at the global

having a very cost-effective solution coming from hydrogen,” he said.</p> <p class="">Arjun Mehta, a green hydrogen sector expert and advisor to GH2 India, a multi-stakeholder industry platform, said that green hydrogen producers are facing challenges in the development of projects at scale primarily because offtake of green hydrogen has not yet materialised beyond early-stage discussions or in small quantities across markets worldwide.<br><br>“The government policies have provided a good start and some relief to production costs, but large-scale transmission capacities, institutional financing capacity, and supply chain issues are other reasons why the sector is taking longer than expected to develop in India,” he added.</p> <p class="">Green hydrogen, produced using renewable energy sources such as wind and solar, is seen as a key component in decarbonising industries that are difficult to electrify, including heavy transport, chemicals, and steel production.</p> <p
