As India rapidly expands renewable energy capacity, grid constraints are increasing the need for energy storage to support further deployment. Industry executives believe a combination of battery energy storage systems, pumped storage projects, and green hydrogen will play a critical role in reducing renewable energy curtailment, providing long-duration storage, and improving grid flexibility.On the sidelines of the Mercom India Renewables Summit 2026, Mercom India spoke with Prashant Choubey, President and Head of Green Hydrogen and Green Ammonia business at Avaada Group, about the evolution of India’s green hydrogen market, the key demand drivers, land acquisition challenges facing independent power producers, and the emerging challenges in the ingot and wafer manufacturing segment. Avaada Group is an integrated clean energy company operating across utility-scale renewable power generation, solar manufacturing, green hydrogen, and green ammonia.
