Renewable hydrogen tenders by SOEs for the refining sector

Six refiners in India have issued tenders for a total of 52 ktpa of renewable hydrogen—about a quarter of the national refining demand (200 ktpa). Developers are responsible for building and operating the hydrogen supply infrastructure, with contract durations ranging from 15 to 25 years. Subsidies will be provided for the first three years at INR 50, 40, and 30/kg (USD 0.6 to 0.36/kg). Plants are expected to be commissioned within 24–36 months. In May 2025, a supplier was selected to deliver 10 ktpa to the Panipat refinery, with a winning bid of INR 397/kg (USD 4.6/kg), and the plant is scheduled for completion within 30 months.
