Noting that India has achieved its target of 40 per cent installed electric capacity from non-fossil fuels ahead of 2030, the Economic Survey has highlighted country’s plans to be energy independent by 2047, by relying on green hydrogen through the National Green Hydrogen Mission.
The mission includes developing green hydrogen production capacity to at least 5 million metric tonne (MMT) per annum by 2030, cumulative reduction in fossil fuel imports over Rs 1 lakh crore and creation of over 6 lakh jobs by 2030.
Further, renewable energy capacity addition of about 125 GW and abatement of nearly 50 MMT of annual greenhouse gases emissions by 2030.
