Unlocking India's Green Hydrogen Exports

India is positioned as one of the most cost-competitive suppliers of green hydrogen, with a delivered cost to Rotterdam of US$794/t, comparable to Brazil and Chile. To capture a share of the projected 3.4–6 million tons of annual imports by the EU and East Asia by 2030, India must address demand uncertainty, financing, and infrastructure gaps. The report recommends building trade partnerships with the EU, Japan, and South Korea, harmonizing certifications, developing port infrastructure through international investment, expanding demand aggregation models, establishing green shipping corridors to Singapore, Rotterdam, and Busan, and creating dedicated financing mechanisms to de-risk projects.

• The European Union and East Asia are projected to import between 3.4 and 6 million tons of green hydrogen annually by 2030.
• India's delivered cost of green hydrogen to Rotterdam is US$794/t, making it one of the most cost-competitive suppliers globally, alongside Chile and Brazil.
• To secure its role as a reliable supplier, India needs to implement six strategic actions: forming trade partnerships with the EU, Japan, and South Korea; harmonizing certifications; investing in port infrastructure with Germany, Singapore, Japan, and South Korea; utilizing demand aggregation and H2Global mechanisms; creating green shipping corridors to Singapore, Rotterdam, and Busan; and developing dedicated financing via export credit agencies and multilateral institutions.
