India is making decisive strides toward a low-carbon economy, with green hydrogen emerging as a cornerstone of its clean energy ambitions.
On April 29, 2025, MNRE hosted a National Workshop in New Delhi focused on unlocking opportunities for Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in the green hydrogen supply chain. This reflects the government’s clear intent to build a robust domestic ecosystem around green hydrogen.
Under the National Green Hydrogen Mission, India aims to achieve a production capacity of at least 5 million metric tonnes (MMT) of green hydrogen per annum by 2030, supported by the addition of around 125 GW of renewable energy capacity.
In this context, several Indian energy and infrastructure firms are positioning themselves as leaders in the green hydrogen space. In this article, we take a closer look at some of the best green hydrogen-linked stocks as of June 2025 ranked by their 5-year Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR).
