The hydrogen infrastructure is gradually evolving to ensure affordable and clean hydrogen supply. Investments of about USD 6.5 billion have been committed, with 45% in the Middle East. Despite increased funding, global hydrogen pipeline networks have expanded modestly to around 6,500 km as of 2025. These pipelines primarily serve established grey hydrogen production centers and industrial clusters in North America, Europe, and Asia. However, new projects integrating green hydrogen transport corridors are underway, especially in Europe and parts of Asia, including India. The number of hydrogen refueling stations worldwide has grown significantly, now exceeding 1,800 stations, with key concentrations in China, South Korea, Japan, and India.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: center;\">Advances in hydrogen storage include improved compressed hydrogen tanks, liquid hydrogen storage, and novel solid-state storage materials (metal hydrides, ammonia carriers). India is actively piloting large-scale storage solutions to enhance supply reliability and integrate with renewable energy systems.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: center;\">Lack of a comprehensive set of hydrogen codes and standards to ensure quality and safety have been a major hurdle to the development of a hydrogen economy.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vce-col vce-col--xs-100p vce-col--xs-visible vce-col--xs-last vce-col--xs-first vce-col--sm-100p vce-col--sm-visible vce-col--sm-last vce-col--sm-first vce-col--md-10p vce-col--md-visible vce-col--md-last vce-col--lg-16-66p vce-col--lg-visible vce-col--lg-last vce-col--xl-12p vce-col--xl-visible vce-col--xl-last\" id=\"el-7f242e29\"><div class=\"vce-col-inner\" data-vce-do-apply=\"border margin background  el-7f242e29\"><div class=\"vce-content-background-container\"><\/div><div class=\"vce-col-content\" data-vce-element-content=\"true\" data-vce-do-apply=\"padding el-7f242e29\"><div class=\"vcv-row-control-wrapper\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vce-section section-two-imagecontent\"><div class=\"vce-section-inner\" data-vce-full-width=\"true\" data-vce-stretch-content=\"true\" id=\"el-1c38d401\" data-vce-do-apply=\"all el-1c38d401\"><div class=\"vce-content-background-container\"><\/div><div data-vce-element-content=\"true\"><div class=\"vce-row-container\" data-vce-boxed-width=\"true\"><div class=\"vce-row vce-row--col-gap-30 vce-row-equal-height vce-row-content--middle\" id=\"el-7ca10b1f\" data-vce-do-apply=\"all el-7ca10b1f\"><div class=\"vce-row-content\" data-vce-element-content=\"true\"><div class=\"vce-col vce-col--md-auto vce-col--xs-1 vce-col--xs-last vce-col--xs-first vce-col--sm-last vce-col--sm-first vce-col--md-first vce-col--lg-first vce-col--xl-first\" id=\"el-fbec5c2b\"><div class=\"vce-col-inner\" data-vce-do-apply=\"border margin background  el-fbec5c2b\"><div class=\"vce-content-background-container\"><\/div><div class=\"vce-col-content\" data-vce-element-content=\"true\" data-vce-do-apply=\"padding el-fbec5c2b\"><div class=\"vce-single-image-container vce-single-image--align-left\"><div class=\"vce vce-single-image-wrapper\" id=\"el-8418d799\" data-vce-do-apply=\"all el-8418d799\"><figure><div class=\"vce-single-image-figure-inner\" style=\"width: 1024px;\"><div class=\"vce-single-image-inner vce-single-image--absolute\" style=\"width: 100%; padding-bottom: 66.6016%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"vce-single-image\"  width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ih2a.com\/ih2ademo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/WG-2-body-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ih2a.com\/ih2ademo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/WG-2-body-2048x1365.jpg 2x, https:\/\/ih2a.com\/ih2ademo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/WG-2-body-320x213.jpg 320w, https:\/\/ih2a.com\/ih2ademo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/WG-2-body-480x320.jpg 480w, https:\/\/ih2a.com\/ih2ademo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/WG-2-body-800x533.jpg 800w\" src=\"https:\/\/ih2a.com\/ih2ademo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/WG-2-body-1024x683.jpg\" data-img-src=\"https:\/\/ih2a.com\/ih2ademo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/WG-2-body.jpg\" data-attachment-id=\"151\"  alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/div><\/div><figcaption hidden=\"\"><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vce-col vce-col--md-auto vce-col--xs-1 vce-col--xs-last vce-col--xs-first vce-col--sm-last vce-col--sm-first vce-col--md-last vce-col--lg-last vce-col--xl-last\" id=\"el-a8f69f75\"><div class=\"vce-col-inner\" data-vce-do-apply=\"border margin background  el-a8f69f75\"><div class=\"vce-col-content\" data-vce-element-content=\"true\" data-vce-do-apply=\"padding el-a8f69f75\"><div class=\"vce-text-block imagecontentlist\"><div class=\"vce-text-block-wrapper vce\" id=\"el-57aa8cdd\" data-vce-do-apply=\"all el-57aa8cdd\"><p style=\"text-align: left;\">The 2016 Dr. Kasturirangan Report recommended an independent Hydrogen Safety Authority (HSA) be created at the national level with jurisdiction on all safety aspects related to hydrogen energy and fuel cells \u2013 a recommendation that has yet to be implemented. Globally, most hydrogen standards are at the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) level in ISO Technical Committee 197 (Hydrogen Technologies) and the International Electrotechnical Committee IEC TC 105 (Fuel Cells). India is a member of the ISO\/TC-197 Committee and should incorporate the globally harmonised hydrogen standards for India through BIS. It is worthwhile to note that in 2020, the Ministry of Road Transport, under the Government of India, included hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles within the Automotive Industry Standard (AIS) 157:2020 till Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) specifications are framed.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vce-section\"

inter-operable across different use-cases and sectors.<\/p><p>Building storage materials, capacity and handling skills for green hydrogen are key requirement to build H2-ready infrastructure and a key enabler for meeting the objectives of the NGHM. A uniform set of technical standards and safety certifications for industrial clusters and commercial scale use-cases, for high-pressure and liquified hydrogen storage and transport is an important pre-requisite for building a domestic value chain. XX-bar storage tanks (LH2, CGH2), trailers, evacuation pipelines and HRS networks will first have to be build - as essential H2 infrastructure to bring H2 and its derivatives, in different forms, to the end customer. Without this storage capacity and infrastructure, India will be unable to build the hydrogen economy in the country. Development of composite materials for H2 tanks and pipelines presents a strong domestic manufacturing opportunity.<\/p><p>Safety Certification for Projects and Standardization will be key requirements at project design and FEED stage. Considering that most H2 projects will be green-field projects, India's capacity for safety audits and certification will have to be expanded significantly, at a regulatory and technical level, both on the government and industry side. This calls for specialist expertise which can be a unique differentiator for India, given India's existing strength in engineering design.<\/p><p>Linking large-scale projects and hubs, with connective infrastructure - whether virtual pipelines or actual H2 pipelines should be considered in a future state of the Indian hydrogen economy. These are expensive but critical components of a future H2 infrastructure and market.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vce-col vce-col--xs-100p vce-col--xs-visible vce-col--xs-last vce-col--xs-first vce-col--sm-100p vce-col--sm-visible vce-col--sm-last vce-col--sm-first vce-col--md-10p vce-col--md-visible vce-col--md-last vce-col--lg-16-66p vce-col--lg-visible vce-col--lg-last vce-col--xl-16-66p vce-col--xl-visible vce-col--xl-last\" id=\"el-f8cdc18e\"><div class=\"vce-col-inner\" data-vce-do-apply=\"border margin background  el-f8cdc18e\"><div class=\"vce-content-background-container\"><\/div><div class=\"vce-col-content\" data-vce-element-content=\"true\" data-vce-do-apply=\"padding el-f8cdc18e\"><div class=\"vcv-row-control-wrapper\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vce-section section-workgroup1lead\"><div class=\"vce-section-inner\" data-vce-full-width=\"true\" data-vce-stretch-content=\"true\" id=\"el-ee3a47f1\" data-vce-do-apply=\"all el-ee3a47f1\"><div class=\"vce-content-background-container\"><\/div><div data-vce-element-content=\"true\"><div class=\"vce-row-container\" data-vce-boxed-width=\"true\"><div class=\"vce-row vce-row--col-gap-30 vce-row-equal-height vce-row-content--top\" id=\"el-1cf7935b\" data-vce-do-apply=\"all el-1cf7935b\"><div class=\"vce-row-content\" data-vce-element-content=\"true\"><div class=\"vce-col vce-col--md-auto vce-col--xs-1 vce-col--xs-last vce-col--xs-first vce-col--sm-last vce-col--sm-first vce-col--md-last vce-col--lg-last vce-col--xl-last vce-col--md-first vce-col--lg-first vce-col--xl-first\" id=\"el-c9f74550\"><div class=\"vce-col-inner\" data-vce-do-apply=\"border margin background  el-c9f74550\"><div class=\"vce-col-content\" data-vce-element-content=\"true\" data-vce-do-apply=\"padding el-c9f74550\"><div class=\"vce-google-fonts-heading vce-google-fonts-heading--align-center vce-google-fonts-heading--color-b-0-0-0--45--5C00FF--FF7200 vce-google-fonts-heading--font-family-Roboto\"><div id=\"el-aade66af\" class=\"vce-google-fonts-heading-wrapper\"><div class=\"vce-google-fonts-heading--background vce\" data-vce-do-apply=\"border background  padding margin el-aade66af\"><h2 class=\"vce-google-fonts-heading-inner\" style=\"font-weight: 500;
