Good article, but the problem is not on the production side, it's on the storage, transportation and demand side. Hydrogen infrastructure is minimal in India as well as the demand side has its problems. For eg, producing fertilizers using Hydrogen through Haber-bosch process requires a steady flow of cheap Hydrogen. If then production uses on-site green hydrogen production, they need storage as hydrogen production is intermittent. If they procure hydrogen from outside, then it should be transported. It's right now very expensive and there are many efficiency losses.
Good point, it's certainly not something that can happen overnight in India, there have to be the right conditions (i.e. enabling regulatory environment + strong private sector cooperation) for the hydrogen industry to take off. But I think that's pretty much the case for any country, each with its own industry/governance landscape

The International Energy Agency will publish a new Global Hydrogen Review next year
