India has now paraded Deendayal Port Authority (Gujarat), V.O. Chidambaranar Port Authority (Tamil Nadu) and Paradip Port Authority (Odisha) as Green Hydrogen Hubs, a big enriching step towards clean energy leadership.
The announcement that was made by the Union Minister for Ports, Shipping and Waterways on the same occasion, Sarbananda Sonowal fits into more extensive aims of India in becoming carbon neutral by the year 2070. This marks India’s commitment towards the climate action with regards to energy security and envisions a sustainable future.
Importance Attached to Coal Hydrogen
Coal hydrogen is produced with renewable sources, depending particularly on solar and wind energy, all the while being carbon-emission free at the point of consumption. It becomes a critical link between sectors that traditionally hold large roles as heavy carbon emitters as industrial processes, transportation vehicles and power generation.
Through a strategic approach to green hydrogen, India aims to strengthen its climate resilience and independence from fossil fuels while claiming the share of global leadership in clean fuel technology. Such a strategy aligns well with India’s ambitions in transitioning to a more low-carbon economy while simultaneously tackling the firestorm that is climate change.

Promotion Ports as Strategic Green Hydrogen Hubs
This makes the choice of Deendayal, V.O. Chidambaranar and Paradip ports for green hydrogen hubs a tactical one in the sense that these are very large ports already adequately equipped with infrastructure for import-export activities and industrial operations. Ports are well situated in terms of their inherent connectivity and capabilities of logistics making them ideal places for hydrogen production, storage and distribution.
By doing this, India will effectively induce a shift towards a hydrogen economy, thereby creating a natural clustering of industries around these hubs where economies of scale, innovation and collaboration can be maximized within the green hydrogen ecosystem.
Cluster-Based Development for Innovation at Pace
India’s green hydrogen strategy is based on a cluster model of development, corralling interdependent projects at specific geographic locations for shared infrastructure economies while giving rise to early-stage innovation and investment incentives. Governments and private industry alike will bring additional stakeholders to the table for collaborative research and synergy toward reducing barriers to hydrogen production and uptake scalability.
Added value to the cluster model includes optimizing resources and creating an enabling environment for technology development in clean energy.

What is Hydrogen Valley Innovation Cluster
The establishment of Hydrogen Valley Innovation Clusters (HVIC) will play a critical role in the green hydrogen strategy of India such clusters should be supported by policy frameworks encouraging investment, enabling technological and industrial collaboration and speed up technological innovations.
Such HVIC will catalyze large-scale hydrogen megaprojects under which India will soon usher progress into a cleaner energy future. These ports will also be the green hydrogen hubs bringing in investments, employment and regional economic growth in the longer term while steering sustainable industrialization pathways aligned to India’s mega vision.
Milestone for Clean Energy & Economic Growth
The strategic choice of turns to the three Deendayal, V.O. Chidambaranar and Paradip ports being green hydrogen hubs has marked a landmark in the journey in clean energy in India. Such alignment between economic growth and ecological responsibility will set the course for India to lead the shift to hydrogen in future global technologies. India lays the groundwork for energy security, low-carbon benefits and better infrastructure for generations to come through collaboration in innovation, purposeful investment and infrastructural development.
