NTPC Renewable Energy's subsidiary, NTPC Green Energy, has initiated a tender process to develop a green hydrogen generation unit electrolyzer for a 1 MW green hydrogen mobility project in Kandla, Gujarat. The tender is open to manufacturers providing proton exchange membrane (PEM) and non-PEM technology systems, with a bid submission deadline of February 11, 2025. The project, aimed at advancing sustainable transportation solutions, must be commissioned within seven and a half months. Bidders are required to complete various tasks including design, engineering, safety studies, electrical system setup, and project commissioning. A ₹2 million (~$23,166.72) earnest money deposit is also mandatory. Concurrently, Chennai Petroleum Corporation issued a tender for a 2 KTA green hydrogen generation unit at its Manali Refinery in Chennai, highlighting the importance of renewable energy sourcing. In another development, Power Grid Corporation of India called for bids to establish a solar-powered green hydrogen project and fuel cell-based microgrid system at the Neemrana substation in Rajasthan. The project aims to meet the substation's energy demands using sustainable sources. Since 2023, NTPC Renewable Energy has been focused on green hydrogen production, selecting Hild Electric as their alkaline electrolyzer technology provider. The company has set ambitious targets, intending to produce 150 kilotons of green hydrogen annually by 2032.
