India’s energy needs are growing, and the country is committed to a sustainable future of energy with green hydrogen gaining attention as an option for meeting diverse energy requirements while reducing its carbon footprint. The National Green Hydrogen Mission, which aims at making India a global hub for green hydrogen production, use and export by 2030, has been initiated by the government of India. This ambitious initiative has significant implications for the country’s energy landscape, and it is crucial to understand the roles and strategies of various stakeholders in driving this transition. State governments take the lead: Developing regional green hydrogen hubs The emphasis on subnational roles and strategies is one of the major elements of the Green Hydrogen Mission. The development of regional Green Hydrogen Hubs is expected to have a significant role to play by state and local authorities. These hubs will serve as centers of excellence, fostering innovation, research, and development in the field of Green Hydrogen. By leveraging their unique strengths and resources, states can create a conducive ecosystem for the production, storage, and distribution of Green Hydrogen. Private sector initiatives: Driving the adoption of green hydrogen In the success of the Green Hydrogen Mission, the private sector also has a key role to play. Ways to integrate green hydrogen into their operations are being explored by companies in different sectors, such as power generation and mobility. A key factor in its uptake will be the availability of affordable and reliable green hydrogen. Investments in research and development, as well as the creation of a robust supply chain, will be essential to bring down the costs and ensure the scalability of Green Hydrogen projects. Advait Infratech is one of the companies that has shown a high level of profitability in the green energy sector. The company reported a 139.10% year-over-year increase in Profit After Tax (PAT) for the quarter ended March 2024. In addition to this, Advait also won the SECI Electrolyser Manufacturing Tranche I bid and was awarded 100 MW earlier this trade. The potential for growth in the energy sector, as well as opportunities available to businesses that are capable of adapting to green energy markets, is highlighted by the strong financial results. Addressing the challenges: A collaborative approach The challenges and obstacles which might emerge must be addressed in the course of India’s journey towards a green hydrogen future. The availability of skilled labour is one of the main challenges. In order to make sure that workers have the right knowledge and skills for working with this new technology, a substantial investment in education and training will be required as part of the Green Hydrogen Mission. In order to develop the necessary talent pool, collaboration between industry, academia and government will be crucial. A supportive policy framework: Key to success The need for a supportive policy and legal framework is also one of the challenges. However, a coherent national policy providing clarity on issues like pricing, taxation and incentives will be important for attracting investment and driving the adoption of green hydrogen, although many countries have put in place policies to encourage Green Hydrogen. The government should also consider introducing measures to incentivize the use of Green Hydrogen in various sectors, such as transportation and industrial processes. Conclusion: A sustainable future for India An important opportunity for India to move towards a sustainable energy future lies in the National Green Hydrogen Mission. India can build a thriving green hydrogen ecosystem that will drive innovation, generate jobs and reduce carbon emissions through the synergies of state governments, private industry and workers. But addressing the challenges and obstacles that may arise, as well as working on a collaborative and coordinated approach involving all interested parties is crucial to achieving this vision. India can become a global leader in the green hydrogen revolution with proper strategies and investments, setting an example for other countries to follow.
Director's Message
“It’s easy to say, “I can do it”. But those who persevere don’t just say it – they do it and they live it. Success for me is still a distant reality and there are miles to go before I sleep.
We cultivate talents and genius here but I certainly believe persistence and determination alone are omnipotent ingredients for Advait Infratech.
It is with this belief that I planted the seed of Advait Infratech Private Limited in 2009. In the last decade, we have had a remarkable journey. From a trading and consultancy company, we have moved to be marketing pioneers in manufacturing and EPC operations.
With Advait getting listed on the Main Board of Bombay Stock Exchange in 2020, we have taken a huge leap in our operations and performance. With the brilliant team at Advait, we aim to be a world-class leader in businesses that enrich lives and contribute to nations in building infrastructure through sustainable value creation whilst creating benchmarks in the field of power transmission, renewable energy, and telecommunication.”
