Wherever possible, if this green hydrogen can be blended then it can reduce import of fuel, he said.
Joshi said India has already seen the model work through NGHM in fertilizers, a sector where demand and infrastructure exist, and the impact is immediate.
India is not looking at isolated events but building a coordinated system where multiple solutions work together to reduce import dependence and strengthen domestic capability for energy security, he added.
“Given what is happening in the world today, we have to move towards energy security and resilient supply chains, especially in sectors where we remain dependent on imports of natural gas and ammonia,” Joshi said. “Green hydrogen and green ammonia are central to this effort of Aatmanirbharta.”
