Germany is interested in buying green hydrogen from India, Chargé d'Affaires Georg Enzweiler said. India’s solar and wind resources make it a strong producer, and Germany can bring technological expertise. He expressed hope that the India-EU Free Trade Agreement would come into force by early 2027, cutting tariffs on 99.5 per cent of Indian exports. On the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism, the EU is providing a transition period and €500 million to help India cut emissions. In a separate interview, Enzweiler said collaboration could extend to rare earths and critical minerals to diversify supply chains. He noted that German companies like Siemens already have a long presence in India.
