Prime Minister Narendra Modi has placed the green and blue economy among seven areas he identified as important to India’s growth in the coming years. In his 80th Independence Day address on Aug. 15, he called for India to achieve global scale in green hydrogen, renewable energy, energy storage, green mobility and green manufacturing. He also highlighted fisheries, coastal tourism and ocean technology.
Green Hydrogen And Renewable Energy Targets
India’s National Green Hydrogen Mission aims to establish the country as a global hub for the production, use and export of green hydrogen. The mission targets at least 5 million metric tons of annual production by 2030. It also envisages about 125 gigawatts of associated renewable energy capacity. The government estimates more than ₹8 lakh crore in investment and over 600,000 jobs from the mission.
The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy said in December 2025 that 15 companies had been awarded incentives for 3,000 megawatts a year of electrolyser manufacturing capacity. It also reported allocations under incentives for green hydrogen production.

Blue Economy Expands Beyond Fisheries
The government’s blue economy agenda covers fisheries, aquaculture, tourism, maritime activity, offshore energy and marine technology. The Ministry of Earth Sciences says oceans cover about 70% of the planet, while much of the deep ocean remains unexplored.
India’s Deep Ocean Mission includes deep-sea exploration, marine biodiversity research and development of a manned submersible designed for depths of up to 6,000 meters. The mission received an approved cost of ₹4,077 crore in 2021.
Why The Agenda Matters
The two sectors link energy security, industrial development, technology and climate policy. Their progress will depend on investment, infrastructure, research capacity and demand. The government’s targets provide measurable benchmarks through 2030, while the broader development vision extends to 2047.
