The National Green Hydrogen Mission, led by the Ministry of New & Renewable Energy in India, aims to significantly boost the production capacity of Green Hydrogen in the country to 5 million tonnes per annum by 2030. The Mission focuses on implementing the Scheme Guidelines, including the SIGHT Programme's Component II for incentivizing the procurement of Green Ammonia production. The recent amendment to the Guidelines has increased the allocation for the fertiliser sector under Mode 2A, indicating a proactive response to the rising demand for Green Ammonia. With this adjustment, the allocation has been raised from 5,50,000 to 7,50,000 tonnes per annum, showcasing a positive step towards enhancing the demand for Green Hydrogen and its derivatives. The Mission, launched with a substantial budget of Rs. 19,744 crores, not only supports India's aspiration for self-reliance through clean energy but also serves as a model for the global Clean Energy Transition. Solar Energy Corporation of India's involvement in the selection process for Green Ammonia producers further emphasizes the commitment to promoting sustainable energy solutions.
