India in talks with Singapore, EU over supply of green hydrogen: report
India has discussed the supply of over 11 metric tons of green hydrogen every year in turn with Singapore and the European Union; the two countries are expected to invest in the Indian green project, a Reuters report said, citing sources.

The Indian government approved a $2.13 billion incentive plan and a target to produce 5 million metric tons of green hydrogen by 2030. India last year declared its ambition to become a major green hydrogen exporter.
