Anupam Shukla, Director of UPNEDA, emphasized that the state’s initial focus would be the use of hydrogen in nitrogenous fertilizers and refineries. Future plans involve expanding green hydrogen applications in other emerging industries aligned with India's National Green Hydrogen Mission.

The state government has launched the ‘Uttar Pradesh Green Hydrogen Policy 2024,’ offering administrative and financial incentives to accelerate green hydrogen and ammonia production. This move supports India’s decarbonization strategy, particularly in the chemicals and fertilizers sectors, and contributes to the country’s broader goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2070. The government is also promoting industrial infrastructure development for green hydrogen production, coupled with regulatory reforms and a single-window clearance facility to enhance ease of doing business.
