Just months after its 2024 founding, Haryana-based Greenvize unveiled a plug-and-play hydrogen cooking system at a government-backed exhibition in New Delhi, signaling India's rapid ascent in green hydrogen innovation, according to The Better India. A swift market entry by a hardware-focused clean-tech startup demonstrates the accelerated pace of development within the nation's burgeoning sector.

India is actively showcasing a burgeoning green hydrogen startup scene and offering substantial funding. However, the high number of applications means many innovative projects will not receive direct government support, creating a competitive bottleneck.

India's strategic government investment will likely catalyze a wave of domestic green hydrogen advancements, but the long-term success of the ecosystem will depend on how effectively the selected startups can scale and commercialize their solutions beyond initial grants.

  • Greenvize, a Haryana-based clean-tech startup founded in 2024, has introduced a plug-and-play hydrogen cooking system, according to The Better India.
  • The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) organized a Hydrogen Startup Exhibition in New Delhi, according to Devdiscourse.
  • The exhibition featured 18 startups working across the hydrogen value chain, including electrolyser technologies, hydrogen production, fuel cells, safety, and applications, according to Devdiscourse.
  • MNRE has introduced a scheme titled 'New and Novel Uses of Hydrogen' with a funding pool of ₹100 crore, allowing startups to receive up to ₹5 crore per project, according to solarquarter.
  • The current exhibition is the second such initiative by MNRE, following a previous showcase in September 2025 where over 25 startups participated, according to Devdiscourse.

₹100 Crore Fueling the Future

The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) has allocated ₹100 crore for its 'New and Novel Uses of Hydrogen' scheme, designed to support emerging businesses. This initiative allows eligible startups to receive up to ₹5 crore per project for pilot initiatives, according to solarquarter. This financial commitment from the government helps de-risk early-stage development and aims to accelerate the commercialization of novel hydrogen technologies.
