Empowering India's Green Hydrogen Future: Funding for Testing Facilities and Infrastructure Development
Key Ideas
  • The Government of India has allocated ₹200 crores for the National Green Hydrogen Mission (NGHM) to develop testing facilities, infrastructure, and institutional support from 2024-2026.
  • Objectives include identifying deficiencies, creating new testing facilities, and ensuring safe operations in the Green Hydrogen sector.
  • The scheme aims to make India a global hub for Green Hydrogen production, usage, and export, reducing dependence on fossil fuels and promoting technology leadership.
  • Implementation by the National Institute of Solar Energy (NISE) includes creating Centers of Excellence and funding up to 100% of capital costs for government entities.
The Government of India has sanctioned funds for the development of testing facilities, infrastructure, and institutional support under the National Green Hydrogen Mission (NGHM). With a budget of ₹200 crores allocated for 2024-2026, the scheme aims to bridge gaps in existing testing facilities and create new infrastructure to ensure safe operations in the Green Hydrogen value chain. Objectives include identifying deficiencies in testing capabilities, establishing new facilities, and encouraging participation from private and government entities to develop world-class testing facilities. The initiative seeks to make India a global leader in Green Hydrogen by promoting decarbonization, reducing fossil fuel imports, and fostering technology advancements. The National Institute of Solar Energy (NISE) will oversee the scheme's implementation by issuing calls for proposals, monitoring projects, and sharing knowledge. Funding will support creating Centers of Excellence and covering up to 100% of capital costs for government entities. The scheme's comprehensive approach, overseen by a Steering Committee, aims to ensure timely and high-quality development of Green Hydrogen testing facilities in India.
