According to S&P Global, Gujarat is emerging as a leading centre for green hydrogen production in India, though most large‑scale projects are still under feasibility studies.
S&P Global's latest assessment highlights Gujarat's growing role in India's green hydrogen ecosystem, citing its abundant renewable energy resources and supportive policies.
The state government has earmarked several sites for electrolyser installations and is courting domestic and foreign investors, but most proposals are still being evaluated for technical and financial viability.
While the potential capacity could reach several gigawatts, experts say that large‑scale commercial plants are unlikely to become operational before detailed feasibility studies are completed and financing is secured.
The report notes that Gujarat's existing solar and wind infrastructure gives it a comparative advantage, yet the transition to full‑scale green hydrogen production will depend on policy clarity and cost reductions in electrolyser technology.
