In a groundbreaking move towards clean energy transformation, India and Germany have signed a landmark green energy partnership agreement on May 25, 2025. The deal is estimated to be worth β¬10 billion (βΉ90,000 crore) and aims to strengthen cooperation in renewable energy, green hydrogen, and sustainable infrastructure.
π± What the Agreement Covers
The agreement was signed during German Chancellor Olaf Scholzβs two-day visit to India, where he held bilateral talks with Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The two nations agreed on several key areas:
β
Green Hydrogen:
Germany will support Indiaβs National Green Hydrogen Mission by offering technology, investments, and training.
β
Solar & Wind Power:
Joint projects will be developed to boost clean energy production in remote regions.
β
Eco-Friendly Cities & Mobility:
Initiatives like smart cities, electric public transport, and sustainable urban development will receive a major push.
π Why This Matters
India has committed to generating 500 GW of non-fossil fuel energy capacity by 2030 and achieving net-zero emissions by 2070. This deal strengthens that goal while allowing Germany access to India’s vast renewable energy market.
According to energy expert Dr. Aarti Mishra from TERI,
βThis partnership is a shift from promises to real action. It sets a global example for green diplomacy.β
π A Step Towards a Greener Future
As climate change continues to threaten ecosystems and economies, international collaboration like the Indo-German pact is essential. This agreement not only promotes green growth but also fosters innovation, job creation, and economic resilience.
