The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy has granted a final extension for the submission of proposals for the Centre of Excellence as part of the National Green Hydrogen Mission. Initially called for on November 4, 2024, the deadline for proposal submission was December 19, 2024. In response to stakeholder requests for more time to prepare comprehensive proposals, the ministry has decided to extend the deadline to January 18, 2025. This move is aimed at affording institutions and industries the necessary time to create and submit high-quality applications. The ministry has made it clear that there will be no further extensions beyond the new deadline. The terms and conditions set forth in the original call for proposals remain the same, ensuring stakeholders have a clear understanding and ample time to comply with the revised deadline. This decision, approved by the competent authority, underscores the government's dedication to boosting research and innovation in green hydrogen technology.
