Green Hydrogen at Scale—Reliance Jamnagar Facility Targets 1 Million Tons Annually by 2028

Reliance Industries’ 100 MW green hydrogen facility at Jamnagar represents a watershed moment for India’s industrial decarbonization. With a target of 1 million tons per year by 2028, this facility will become one of the world’s largest green hydrogen producers and a critical enabler of India’s net-zero ambitions.\n\n## The Scale Achievement\n\nGreen hydrogen production at Reliance’s Jamnagar complex will utilize renewable electricity and water electrolysis to produce hydrogen without carbon emissions. With 1 million tons annual capacity by 2028, this facility will supply hydrogen to refineries, chemical plants, steel mills, and transportation sectors.\n\nThe facility’s scale is significant. Current global green hydrogen production is measured in thousands of tons annually. Reliance’s 1 million-ton target would represent approximately 10% of projected global green hydrogen production by 2028.\n\n## Industrial Competitiveness Through Energy Transition\n\nFor Indian manufacturers, this facility’s significance extends beyond environmental impact. Hydrogen-based production processes are increasingly cost-competitive with carbon-intensive alternatives. By securing access to green hydrogen, manufacturers can achieve lower lifecycle carbon footprints, premium market positioning, regulatory compliance, and energy cost advantages.\n\n## Investment in Industrial Decarbonization\n\nReliance’s $2+ billion commitment to green hydrogen infrastructure signals confidence in India’s energy transition. This sends a strong signal to other capital-intensive manufacturers that green hydrogen is commercially viable and strategically essential.\n\n## Supply Chain Integration and Global Implications\n\nThe Jamnagar facility benefits from Reliance’s vertically integrated supply chain. India’s emergence as a large-scale green hydrogen producer has global significance—countries seeking to decarbonize while maintaining energy security will likely source hydrogen and hydrogen-based fuels from India, creating a new export opportunity.
