The Indian government has taken a significant step towards boosting the country's green energy sector with the announcement of new guidelines for funding testing facilities and infrastructure under the National Green Hydrogen Mission (NGHM). With a financial outlay of Rs 200 crore allocated for 2024-26, the scheme aims to enhance the quality and testing ecosystem in the rapidly growing Green Hydrogen sector. The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) detailed the scheme's objectives, focusing on addressing gaps in current testing infrastructures and developing new facilities that adhere to stringent standards for Green Hydrogen and its derivatives. The National Institute of Solar Energy (NISE) will act as the Scheme Implementation Agency (SIA) to manage the application and implementation processes, issuing Calls for Proposals (CfP) to identify projects for testing facility establishment and enhancement nationwide. The funding will be disbursed in three stages to promote accountability and timely execution of projects. To ensure alignment with the mission's goals, a Project Appraisal Committee will monitor and evaluate the projects throughout their lifecycle. The government has emphasized the strategic importance of investing in testing infrastructure to advance India's capabilities in Green Hydrogen, aiming to establish the country as a global leader in this critical sector. This initiative is expected to play a key role in ensuring the safe and efficient operation of Green Hydrogen technologies as the industry continues to evolve.
