Press: IEW 2026: India’s green hydrogen ecosystem has moved from concept to committed capacity, says Endua business head
India’s green hydrogen market is quickly shifting from early ambition to real-world rollout, and Endua is positioning itself to be part of this next phase.
In a recent interview with Connected to India, Endua’s Head of Business Development & Growth, Tim Latimer, shared why Endua is attending India Energy Week (IEW) 2026 in Goa (27-30 January) for the first time, and why this year marks a turning point for the region’s hydrogen transition.
Latimer says: “India’s green hydrogen ecosystem has moved from concept to committed capacity, and the conversations are now firmly about real projects rather than just possibilities.”
India’s green hydrogen momentum on the rise
India’s National Green Hydrogen Mission has set a target of producing 5 million tonnes of green hydrogen per year by 2030, with the potential to scale to 10 million tonnes and beyond.
This ambition is supported by a powerful combination of tailwinds – including some of the world’s lowest renewable energy costs, declining electrolyser pricing and strong policy backing. As the article notes, India is aiming to become the lowest-cost producer of green hydrogen globally within the next five years, while positioning itself to capture a meaningful share of global hydrogen demand by 2030.
The result: hydrogen is no longer being discussed as a long-term “nice to have” – but as an urgent industrial and energy-security priority.
Endua’s IEW focus: Local supply for real industrial users
Endua’s participation at IEW 2026 is not framed as a “big showcase moment”, but as a targeted effort to connect with industries that already understand hydrogen, rely on it today or are piloting it as a decarbonisation pathway.
Latimer explained: “IEW is an ideal place for us to understand how industrial users, fleet operators, logistics networks and energy players are thinking about fuel security, infrastructure rollout and the balance between imported and locally produced energy.”
Endua’s conversations will focus on sectors where hydrogen demand is either established or rapidly emerging, including:
agriculture and fertilisers
refining, petrochemicals and chemicals
steel, glass and semiconductor manufacturing
mining and remote industry
pharmaceutical manufacturing
heavy freight, buses and portable power.
What “low-risk adoption” looks like in India
A core theme of the interview is Endua’s focus on staged, low-risk hydrogen adoption is helping organisations move forward pragmatically, without requiring overnight transformation.
Latimer highlighted opportunities such as blending or replacing existing hydrogen supply in fertiliser plants and refineries, supporting demonstration lines in steel and glass, and enabling local hydrogen supply for remote mining and industrial sites to reduce diesel exposure and improve fuel security.
As he noted, “This mix of mature offtakers and fast-evolving pilots makes India one of the most important markets globally for flexible, reliable hydrogen solutions that can support staged, low-risk adoption across these sectors.”
IEW as a bridge between policy and projects
India Energy Week 2026 will host 500+ companies from 22 nations, bringing together decision-makers across industry, transport, power and government – key groups shaping hydrogen’s next decade.
For Endua, the opportunity is clear: to listen closely, learn quickly and contribute where dependable local hydrogen can support both decarbonisation goals and operational resilience.
Latimer summed up the mindset simply: “As newcomers, we are more curious than authoritative about that journey… For Endua, it’s a chance to listen, learn and contribute where local hydrogen supply can support both decarbonisation and reliable operations across these industries.”
