Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is IGHA-Hyvolution India 2026?
It’s India’s first Hyvolution-branded hydrogen event — the India Green Hydrogen Assembly (IGHA) combined with Hyvolution, a hydrogen exhibition brand that already runs established editions in Paris. It’s happening 17–18 November 2026 at India Expo Mart, Greater Noida, co-organized by GH2 India and GL Events, with Apoltos Events Pvt. Ltd. (AEPL) as event partner. In practical terms: a 14,000+ sq. m. exhibition floor with 150+ exhibitors, plus a two-track conference — a Strategic Conference for ministers, CEOs, and investors, and a Technical Conference for engineers and project delivery teams.
Both, in the way these things usually work in India’s hydrogen sector — it’s privately organized (GL Events, AEPL) but structured around a government mission, not run by the government itself. It’s positioned to support the goals of the National Green Hydrogen Mission and works alongside SECI (Solar Energy Corporation of India). This is different from something like the International Conference on Green Hydrogen (ICGH), which the Government of India directly organizes at Bharat Mandapam — IGHA is the industry-and-exhibition counterpart, not the ministry’s own event.
It’s the ₹19,744 crore (~$2.2 billion) government mission approved in January 2023, targeting 5 million metric tonnes per annum of green hydrogen production by 2030, backed by roughly 125 GW of additional renewable capacity. Nearly ₹17,490 crore of that is the SIGHT programme (manufacturing and production incentives). This is the reason almost every hydrogen event in India — IGHA, ICGH, Green Hydrogen Summit, India Infrastructure’s Green Hydrogen in India series — anchors its agenda to the same set of 2030 targets. It’s the shared reference point, not just marketing language.
Not yet, and this is one of the more honest things worth knowing before attending any hydrogen conference. Current production cost estimates cluster around $4–6/kg, versus $2.3–2.5/kg for grey hydrogen made from natural gas. Government targets aim to bring this down to roughly $2/kg (some studies say $1.5/kg) by 2030 through subsidies, cheaper renewable power, and domestic electrolyser manufacturing — but independent analysts (CSEP, ORF) are more cautious, projecting something closer to $3–4/kg is realistic by 2030. This cost gap is the central subject of most “policy and investment” sessions at these events, including IGHA’s Strategic Conference track.
No. Registration is split by role: visitor, conference delegate, exhibitor, or sponsor, each with separate registration. It’s relevant to renewable energy developers, EPC firms, electrolyser and fuel cell manufacturers, steel/cement/refining/chemical companies (the “hard-to-abate” sectors hydrogen targets first), investors and DFIs, and government/policy staff. Given the current cost gap above, it’s genuinely useful for corporate sustainability and procurement teams trying to figure out if or when green hydrogen becomes viable for their own operations — not just hydrogen-native companies.
The India hydrogen-event calendar is more crowded than people expect. ICGH (Government of India, Bharat Mandapam) is policy- and R&D-focused with plenary sessions and scientific discussion. India Infrastructure’s “Green Hydrogen in India” series and the Green Hydrogen Summit (Dwarka) lean toward project-developer and financing discussions at a smaller scale. IGHA-Hyvolution’s differentiator is scale plus an international brand: it’s the first Indian edition of a globally established exhibition (Hyvolution), giving it a larger exhibition floor and a stronger pull for international exhibitors and technology providers alongside the usual policy content.
Based on the published programme structure, it’s split deliberately: the Strategic Conference (ministers, CEOs, investors) covers policy, offtake agreements, and investment; the Technical Conference is explicitly built around engineering and commercial delivery — electrolyser performance, storage, infrastructure, and project economics — rather than repeating the same policy talking points twice.
It’s built for both. Because the event splits into strategic (business/policy) and technical (engineering) tracks, someone new to the sector can stay on the strategic side and get a working understanding of the market, the mission targets, and the investment landscape without needing an electrolysis background.
Exhibitors span hydrogen producers, EPC companies, electrolyser and equipment manufacturers, and renewable energy developers. With 150+ exhibitors across 14,000+ sq. m., it’s built explicitly as a buyer-supplier marketplace, not just a conference with booths on the side — worth considering if you’re selling equipment, technology, or engineering services into the Indian market specifically, since the event is India-focused rather than a stop on a global circuit.
Yes — registration is role-specific: separate paths for visitors, conference delegates, sponsors, and exhibitors, all through the official IGHA-Hyvolution India website. If you only want floor access, that’s a different (usually simpler/cheaper) registration than a conference delegate pass, which includes session access.
A few concrete reasons come up repeatedly in industry analysis: India’s renewable resource base (solar + wind) is strong enough to potentially make it one of the cheapest green hydrogen producers globally by 2050; the government has committed nearly $2 billion in direct incentives; and roughly 70% of the 2030 production target (about 3.5 million tonnes) is earmarked for export rather than domestic use — meaning India is explicitly positioning itself as a hydrogen exporter, not just a domestic-decarbonization story. That export ambition is a big part of why international exhibitors and investors are paying attention to an India-specific event rather than only attending Paris or Rotterdam editions.
Worth knowing before treating this as a purely bullish story: announced production capacity in India is already running at close to 2.5x the 2030 target, but demand-side uptake has lagged — only a small fraction of planned capacity has secured firm offtake agreements so far. This demand-supply mismatch is a genuine open question in the sector, and it’s part of why sessions at events like this focus heavily on offtake agreements and demand creation (blending mandates in refining/fertiliser, export offtake) rather than just production technology.
