India Awards 30 KTPA of Green Hydrogen Capacity to Four Oil Refineries

India is allocating 30 KTPA of green hydrogen production capacity across four major oil refineries, signaling a more targeted effort to move hydrogen from policy ambition into industrial applications where demand already exists.
The capacity has been awarded under Mode 2B of the Strategic Interventions for Green Hydrogen Transition (SIGHT) program, part of India’s National Green Hydrogen Mission.
The geographic spread is significant because it places green hydrogen projects directly within existing refining infrastructure rather than treating hydrogen production as a standalone export or power sector development.
The economics of refinery based green hydrogen will depend heavily on the cost and availability of renewable electricity, electrolyzer utilization and the price differential between green hydrogen and conventional hydrogen.
This creates a different economic challenge from conventional hydrogen production, where fossil feedstocks can provide more predictable operating conditions.
