The India H2 Alliance (IH2A) has expanded its membership with the addition of seven industry leaders, including Torrent Power, Synergen Projects, Godawari Power and Ispat, Technip Energies, HSBC Bank, Bureau Veritas, and Newtrace. This development follows the submission of the IH2A’s ambitious plans, including the $5 billion National Green Hydrogen Hub Economic Viability and Development Plan and the $50 billion Hydrogen Equipment and Exports Report, to the Government of India.
With a current roster of 22 members, including 14 industry participants and nine partner organizations representing crucial players across the hydrogen value chain, IH2A is actively collaborating with state governments to advance large-scale green hydrogen projects in India.
Jillian Evanko, President and CEO of Chart Industries and a Founding Member of IH2A, expressed enthusiasm for the new additions, noting that the influx of these seven members signifies significant progress and reflects investor interest in cultivating the green hydrogen economy in India. She emphasized the importance of Green Hydrogen Offtake support for the economic viability of green hydrogen projects in the country.
Evanko stated, “We expect the Government of India will provide greater policy and incentive clarity to green hydrogen investors so that they can take project investment and domestic manufacturing decisions.”
Abhishek Agrawal, Executive Director of Godawari Power and Ispat Ltd, shared this optimism, expressing the company’s eagerness to collaborate with IH2A members and partner organizations. He emphasized their commitment to accelerating the decarbonization of the Indian metals and steel sector, exploring clean technology solutions, and leading by example in the industry.
