India Launches ₹200 Crore Scheme to Boost Green Hydrogen Testing Facilities
Key Ideas
  • The Indian government has allocated ₹200 crore to support the development of green hydrogen testing infrastructure under the National Green Hydrogen Mission.
  • Key objectives include identifying gaps in testing capabilities, establishing new facilities, upgrading existing infrastructure, and ensuring the safety of equipment in the green hydrogen value chain.
  • The National Institute of Solar Energy (NISE) will spearhead the implementation, calling for proposals to develop new facilities and setting strict timelines for project completion.
  • The initiative aims to enhance India's green hydrogen ecosystem, facilitating the safe and efficient adoption of this eco-friendly energy source.
The Indian government has unveiled a ₹200 crore scheme to bolster the development of testing facilities and infrastructure for green hydrogen technologies as part of the National Green Hydrogen Mission (NGHM). The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) issued guidelines on July 4, 2024, outlining the objectives of the initiative. These goals include identifying existing testing capability gaps, establishing new facilities, upgrading infrastructure, and ensuring equipment safety in the green hydrogen value chain. Over the 2024-26 period, the scheme will be executed with detailed guidelines, with the National Institute of Solar Energy (NISE) overseeing implementation. NISE will identify areas requiring testing infrastructure development and solicit proposals for new facilities, requiring completion within specific timeframes. The scheme's ultimate aim is to cultivate a robust green hydrogen ecosystem in India, enhancing the safety and efficiency of deploying this sustainable energy technology.
