The Indian government has unveiled a scheme worth Rs 200 crore to bolster testing facilities, infrastructure, and institutional support for the National Green Hydrogen Mission. The scheme, supervised by the Ministry of New & Renewable Energy, aims to identify and address gaps in testing facilities across the green hydrogen value chain. It will facilitate the creation of new testing facilities and enhance existing ones to ensure safe operations. The National Institute of Solar Energy (NISE) will be responsible for executing the scheme, which is part of the broader National Green Hydrogen Mission launched in 2023 with a significant budget allocation. This initiative is envisioned to drive substantial decarbonisation, reduce reliance on fossil fuel imports, and position India as a leader in green hydrogen technology and market.
