India is charging ahead in the green hydrogen race with strong government support and falling production costs. Under the ₹19,744 crore National Green Hydrogen Mission, the country aims to produce 5 million tonnes by 2030. Costs may drop by up to 40%, reaching ₹260–310 per kg for major companies that use green hydrogen as a raw material.
In recent times, investor interest in green hydrogen has risen. This is partly due to the successful trials of hydrogen-powered trains in Chennai recently. If you’re looking to tap into this clean energy boom, you can make a demat account to trade in top green hydrogen stocks. As of August 2025, here are the top stocks to watch.
