In a significant move towards sustainable energy solutions, NTPC Limited has partnered with Grid Corporation of Odisha (GRIDCO) and Capital Region Urban Transport (CRUT) to establish green hydrogen infrastructure in Odisha, with a focus on a green hydrogen mobility scheme. This initiative includes the setup of a green hydrogen fuelling station in Bhubaneswar and the introduction of hydrogen buses for short and long-haul operations, aiding in the transition from fossil fuel to clean energy buses. This partnership aims to strengthen green energy technologies and contribute to decarbonization and energy security. Additionally, the Asian Development Bank (ADB) has secured a $500 million loan for green infrastructure projects in India, supporting the nation's climate commitments. Waaree Energies Ltd has announced ambitious plans for capital expenditures, including establishing a 300 MW Electrolyser manufacturing facility and a Lithium-Ion Advanced Chemistry Storage Cell plant to meet the growing demand for sustainable energy solutions. This move aligns with the company's strategy to diversify its portfolio and drive innovation in the renewable energy sector. Furthermore, the Indian Renewable Energy Development Agency Limited (IREDA) is actively supporting renewable energy projects in Odisha, with a target of 10 GW capacity by 2030, emphasizing the potential for solar power generation in the region. With funding already approved for various projects and a focus on green ammonia and electric vehicle financing, IREDA is playing a vital role in advancing renewable energy technologies in India. The collective efforts reflect India's dedication to renewable energy transformation and sustainability, positioning the country as a leader in cleaner technologies and infrastructure.
