Natural Gas showed that India now imports nearly 85% of its crude oil needs and the country spends nearly \u20b912 lakh crore a year on importing crude oil. However, the western and southern belt of the country gets more than 300 sunny days each year allowing the production of hydrogen at an end-of-decade price less than diesel. That dichotomy is right smack dab in the middle of this business.<\/p>\n<p>So is Green Hydrogen (hydrogen made from renewable electricity and split water) no longer a laboratory experiment. Domestic green hydrogen suppliers are being aggressively sought after by India&#8217;s steel plants in Odisha, fertiliser plants in Gujarat, and refinery clusters in Maharashtra as it is not economically or geopolitically viable to import grey hydrogen or ammonia. When the first entrepreneur constructs a mid-scale green hydrogen plant close to an industrial corridor, it&#8217;s not only the enterprise they&#8217;ve created, it&#8217;s the critical link in the chain of India&#8217;s supply.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_window_is_open_It_will_not_stay_open_indefinitely\"><\/span><strong>The window is open.

The current capacity of domestic production of green hydrogen is less than 20,000 tonnes per annum or 0.3% of the total demand, per the <a href=\"https:\/\/mnre.gov.in\/green-hydrogen\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE)<\/a>. That is not a &#8220;niche gap. That&#8217;s a lack in the industry.<\/p>\n<p>Nearly 50% of hydrogen use is in fertilisers, approximately 30% in petroleum refining and an increasing amount in steelmaking. Gujarat, Maharashtra, Odisha, Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu are the top five unmet demand states, each having a significant number of industrial clusters and\/or port facilities.<\/p>\n<p>The Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) estimates that India will require at least 5 MMT of green hydrogen per year to achieve the country&#8217;s decarbonisation commitments and export goals. If just 1% of this can be plugged, it is equivalent to a market of \u20b93,000\u20135,000 crore for producers in the early stages.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" style=\"text-align: center\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Related_Article_Green_Hydrogen_Production_in_India_The_Next_Trillion-Rupee_Opportunity_for_Entrepreneurs\"><\/span>Related Article: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.niir.org\/blog\/green-hydrogen-business-opportunities\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Green Hydrogen Production in India: The Next Trillion-Rupee Opportunity for Entrepreneurs<\/a><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Table_1_State-wise_Green_Hydrogen_Demand_Clusters_Industrial_Anchors\"><\/span><strong>Table 1: State-wise Green Hydrogen Demand Clusters &amp; Industrial Anchors<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>State<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Key Industrial Cluster<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Primary Demand Sector<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Annual H\u2082 Demand (est.)<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Green H\u2082 Gap<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Gujarat<\/td>\n<td>Dahej, Hazira, Kandla<\/td>\n<td>Refinery, Fertiliser<\/td>\n<td>1.2 MMT<\/td>\n<td>~1.18 MMT<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Odisha<\/td>\n<td>Angul, Paradip, Jharsuguda<\/td>\n<td>Steel, Refinery<\/td>\n<td>0.9 MMT<\/td>\n<td>~0.88 MMT<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Maharashtra<\/td>\n<td>Ratnagiri, Nagpur, Pune<\/td>\n<td>Chemicals, Refinery<\/td>\n<td>0.8 MMT<\/td>\n<td>~0.78 MMT<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Andhra Pradesh<\/td>\n<td>Visakhapatnam, Krishnapatnam<\/td>\n<td>Fertiliser, Export<\/td>\n<td>0.6 MMT<\/td>\n<td>~0.59 MMT<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Tamil Nadu<\/td>\n<td>Tuticorin, Chennai<\/td>\n<td>Ammonia Export, Steel<\/td>\n<td>0.5 MMT<\/td>\n<td>~0.49 MMT<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Rajasthan<\/td>\n<td>Barmer, Jodhpur<\/td>\n<td>Solar-linked H\u2082 Prod.<\/td>\n<td>0.3 MMT<\/td>\n<td>~0.30 MMT<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><em>Source: MNRE, CII Green Hydrogen Report, Invest India Sector Brief<\/em><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_This_Is_the_Right_Time_to_Enter\"><\/span><strong>Why This Is the Right Time to Enter<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Three forces are coming together at once \u2014 and that&#8217;s unusual.

It is a current procurement issue for the thousands of fertiliser plants, refineries and steel mills in five states. The policy structure is established. The cost curves are off their places. The demand is real and increasing.<\/p>\n<p>Your next step is to find one industrial plant that is within 100 km of a site with good solar irradiation and get in touch with the hydrogen procurement manager for any one fertiliser or refinery plant in the cluster. Discuss with them the price and volume that they would be willing to offer for committing to a 5-year offtake contract. There is more that can be learned in that one conversation than in any consultants&#8217; report. After the offtake number is determined, work back to your plant economics. The electrolyser vendor, financing, the approvals, all that comes after that anchor.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>The plants that are being constructed over the next three years will determine the clean hydrogen supply chain of the future for India for the next 30 years.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently_Asked_Questions\"><\/span><strong>Frequently Asked Questions<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Q1. What is the Minimum investment in Green Hydrogen Plant In India?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The minimum commercially viable entry point for a Green Hydrogen plant in India would start at Rs. 13-17 Cr for 1 MW capacity(500kg\/day) coupled with co-located solar PV. While pilot-scale units of 100-200 kg\/day capacity can be set up in the range of Rs 3-5 Cr, there would be challenges in selling at competitive price to the industrial consumers. CGTMSE scheme and SIDBI Green Energy Loan scheme offers up to 75% of project costs to the eligible MSME promoters.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q2. What licences and permissions are required for a Green Hydrogen Plant?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>An entity has to get the Udyam registration, factory license, SPCB consent (NOC), PESO (Chief controller of explosives for safe storage of hydrogen), GST registration, and an Open Access or PPA for the renewable electricity supply. In cases where the capacity is &gt; 25MW, then MoEF &amp; CC environmental clearance would also be required. All approval takes an average of 10-14 months and can be pursued simultaneously.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q3. What is the right source for water and electricity for a Green Hydrogen Plant?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Demineralised Water can be arranged via an in-house DM plant which could cost around 15-25 Lakhs for a 5000 Liters per day unit (based on RO + DM process). Renewable electricity (best source for H2 generation) should be procured via an agreement of 25 yrs. Solar PPA with any solar developer in Rajasthan, Gujarat or Andhra Pradesh at a rate of 2.10-2.40 per kWh or via open access with a certified RE power trader, without any dependency on state grid power (unless you get certified RE-power). Using the standard grid power without RE PPA or open access will not allow claiming green hydrogen benefits and would result in immediate loss of green premium on the H2.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q4. What are the realistic profit margins for this business?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Based on an efficient plant operating at full load capacity of 500 kg\/day and selling H2 at 350 per kg, you would be looking at a gross margin of 54-58%, whereas a post-debt net margin ranging from 18-24% would be achievable. If the production incentive of 50 per kg (as per MNRE&#8217;s SIGHT programme) is applied for the first 3 years, then the net margins may go up to 28-32%. Payback for the project can be in the range of 6-8 years (without any incentives) and 4-5 years (with incentives). These projections assume sourcing of solar power at 2.20\/kWh and zero dependency on state grid power.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q5. What Government Schemes and incentives are available for Green Hydrogen Entrepreneurs in India?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) offers a production incentive of 50 per kg of Green Hydrogen produced for first 3 years under the SIGHT program. There is a PLI scheme to encourage domestic electrolyzer manufacturing. The CGTMSE scheme and SIDBI Green Energy Loan provides collateral free loans\/loan guarantee to eligible MSME entrepreneurs, with up to 75% of project financing. A Startup India DPIIT recognition for your firm\/company could get you tax benefits for 3 years. Additionally, States like Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu have their own State Hydrogen policies with various incentives like capital subsidy, waiving off wheeling charges etc.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q6. Where can I get a Project Report for Green Hydrogen Plant?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You can procure a ready-made or custom detailed project report (DPR) from Niir Project Consultancy Services (NPCS) which can be downloaded from their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.niir.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">website -niir.org<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.entrepreneurindia.co\">entrepreneurindia.co<\/a>. The report typically includes equipment selection matrix, comparative cost, supplier data, regulatory check list, bankable financial analysis for a green hydrogen project of the desired capacity. You can also look up the guidelines and schematics on the official website of MNRE (<a href=\"https:\/\/mnre.gov.in\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">mnre.gov.in<\/a>) and investindia.gov.in (for one stop shop investment portal).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Green Hydrogen Plant Setup in India When the Cheapest Fuel Costs the Earth \u2014 And That&#8217;s About to Change Data from the Ministry of Petroleum &amp; Natural Gas showed that India now imports nearly 85% of its crude oil needs and the country spends nearly \u20b912 lakh crore a year on importing crude oil.
