Honeywell India, a key subsidiary of North Carolina-based Honeywell International Inc.,which has a market capitalisation of over $147 billion, offers integrated software and technology-driven solutions to key business verticals, automation, aviation, and energy transition.
Setting the context, he said, Green Hydrogen was becoming critical, especially as India continued to rapidly scale its renewables and industrial corridors and has a target to position itself as a global hub for green hydrogen production, exports, and domestic decarbonisation.
Mr. Modi told The Hindu that, ”Our approach is technology-agnostic and safety-first, built on decades of operational excellence in complex industrial environments. Honeywell is among the first automation companies to develop customised offerings for the green hydrogen segment and we are working with multiple developers in India.’’
Elaborating on Honeywell’s contribution towards green hydrogen across industry spaces, he said, in refining and petrochemicals, where Indian refineries are among the country’s largest hydrogen users, the company’s solutions help integrate electrolysers into existing sites, improve hydrogen purity, and strengthen safety systems, supporting the shift from grey to green hydrogen.
In fertilizers, as companies explore green hydrogen for ammonia production, Honeywell ensured a reliable hydrogen supply despite renewable intermittency through energy management software, digital twins, and performance optimisation platforms, he stated.

The U.S. has launched two investigations under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 against India and other economies to examine practices that may be ‘unreasonable or discriminatory and burden or restrict U.S. commerce’. One probe examines whether countries, including India, are using excess manufacturing capacity to export to the U.S. in a manner that hurts American businesses, while another looks at whether countries have taken ‘sufficient steps’ to prohibit imports of goods produced with forced labour.
