Key Ideas
  • The Central government has issued funding guidelines under the National Green Hydrogen Mission to support the development of testing facilities and infrastructure for green hydrogen in India.
  • The scheme aims to identify gaps in existing testing facilities, establish new facilities, and upgrade current ones to ensure safe operations and quality production of green hydrogen.
  • With a budget of Rs. 200 crore until 2025-26, the scheme will be implemented by the National Institute of Solar Energy to promote quality, sustainability, and safety in green hydrogen production.
  • The National Green Hydrogen Mission, launched in 2023, seeks to drive India towards self-reliance in clean energy, reduce carbon emissions, lessen reliance on fossil fuel imports, and position the country as a leader in green hydrogen technology.
The Ministry of New & Renewable Energy in India has released guidelines for funding testing facilities, infrastructure, and institutional support for the development of standards and regulatory framework under the National Green Hydrogen Mission (NGHM). The scheme aims to address gaps in the current testing facilities for components, technologies, and processes within the green hydrogen value chain. It will allocate funds for creating new testing facilities and upgrading existing ones to ensure safe and efficient operations in the green hydrogen sector. The total budget for this initiative is set at Rs. 200 crore until the financial year 2025-26, with the National Institute of Solar Energy (NISE) leading the implementation. The mission focuses on establishing quality and performance testing facilities to enhance the quality, sustainability, and safety of green hydrogen production and trade. By promoting clean energy and self-reliance, the National Green Hydrogen Mission aspires to drive significant decarbonization of the economy, reduce dependence on fossil fuel imports, and position India as a global leader in green hydrogen technology and market innovation.
