India is rapidly accelerating its green hydrogen ambitions, targeting the production of 5 million metric tons of green hydrogen annually by 2030. This initiative is expected to attract an estimated $125 billion in investments, reshaping the country’s energy landscape and generating approximately 600,000 new jobs. As these projects take shape, demand is rising not only for electrolysis and storage infrastructure but also for advanced materials—particularly clad plates—that are essential to building safe and durable hydrogen production systems.
India’s National Green Hydrogen Mission, launched in 2023, is positioning the country as a global hub for green hydrogen production and export. Noteworthy developments include:
Indian Oil Corporation’s 10,000 TPA Green Hydrogen Plant
Located at the Panipat Refinery in Haryana, this facility is designed to supply clean hydrogen for refining operations and reduce fossil-fuel dependence.
Juno Joule Green Energy & Select Energy GmbH (Germany)
A $1.3 billion (₹10,000 crore) green hydrogen and green ammonia production facility near Mulapeta Port in Andhra Pradesh. The facility is expected to produce up to 1.8 million tons of green hydrogen and 1 million tons of green ammonia annually for export markets.
As India scales up its hydrogen infrastructure, the demand for corrosion-resistant, high-performance materials has grown significantly. Clad plates—composite materials that combine a corrosion-resistant alloy with a structural steel base—are proving essential in the construction of green hydrogen equipment.
Electrolyzer Pressure Vessels
Electrolyzers operate in harsh chemical environments under pressure. Clad plates (e.g., titanium/steel, stainless/steel) offer cost-effective corrosion resistance, particularly for anode and cathode compartments and external housings.
Hydrogen Storage Tanks & High-Pressure Vessels
Hydrogen must often be stored under high pressure or cryogenic conditions. Clad steel provides structural strength and resistance to hydrogen embrittlement, making it ideal for long-term storage vessels.
Heat Exchangers
In hydrogen production, heat exchangers are used for energy efficiency and thermal recovery. Clad plates extend the life of these systems by protecting against acidic and high-temperature environments.
India’s green hydrogen boom is not only a clean energy milestone but also a signal to the global materials and engineering industries. With massive infrastructure under development, the demand for advanced process equipment built with clad steel is poised to expand sharply. This opens new market opportunities for global manufacturers of clad plates and specialized pressure equipment.
