Kant’s statement on green hydrogen

NITI Aayog CEO Amitabh Kant said on Tuesday that India could be the cheapest producer of green hydrogen in the world due to its climatic conditions.

In an interactive session at Raisina Dialogue, Kant mentioned that India has brought down the consumption of renewable energy.

“India has size and scale. India can be the cheapest green hydrogen producer in the world … India is the only climate-blessed country that can do that,” he said.

Pointing out that China does not have the climatic conditions to be the cheapest producer of green hydrogen, Kant said that India will have to compete with Middle Eastern countries.
