The Bihar Renewable Energy Development Agency (BREDA) has released the draft Bihar Green Hydrogen Policy 2026. The policy aims to promote the growth of green hydrogen and green ammonia production in the state, create markets, expand electrolyser manufacturing, and boost demand aggregation. The policy shall ensure a conducive and favorable ecosystem to fulfil the ambition of establishing a green hydrogen/ammonia economy in the state.
The policy will be applicable for a period of five years. It sets a target to achieve a production capacity of 0.10 million metric tonnes per annum of green hydrogen/ammonia by 2031. To support this, the state plans to develop approximately 1 GW of electrolyser capacity and 2.5 GW of renewable energy capacity for green hydrogen and green ammonia projects. In addition, the policy aims to attract investments of approximately Rs 160 billion.
Furthermore, the policy states that a single window clearance facility will be provided by the Government of Bihar to facilitate seamless expansion of new green hydrogen projects and existing units. Fast-track approvals and clearances for open access, storage, and grid integration will also be given.
