The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) in India has issued Scheme Guidelines for Setting Up Hydrogen Hubs under the National Green Hydrogen Mission. The Scheme aims to identify regions suitable for large-scale hydrogen production, establish integrated green hydrogen hubs, and enhance cost-competitiveness in comparison to fossil-based alternatives. A budget of INR 200 crore until FY 2025-26 has been allocated for core infrastructure development at hydrogen hubs. This includes funding for storage facilities, transportation upgrades, power transmission infrastructure, and various other necessary components. The Scheme outlines strict guidelines for project completion by March 31, 2026, with penalties for delays and non-compliance. A monitoring framework involving a Steering Committee and Project Appraisal Committee will oversee project evaluation, funding disbursement, and overall implementation. The Steering Committee, chaired by the Secretary of MNRE, will ensure successful Scheme implementation and suggest modifications as needed. The implementation methodology involves inviting proposals based on production capacity, technology, and financial commitment. Evaluation criteria include planned production capacity, technology applications, end-use, and financial commitment. Awards will be issued to executing agencies based on administrative sanction from MNRE. Overall, the Scheme guidelines represent a significant step in advancing green hydrogen infrastructure in India. While the allocated budget and structured framework are promising, challenges may arise in meeting timeline requirements and obtaining necessary approvals. Nonetheless, the Scheme aims to drive large-scale hydrogen production, establish integrated hubs, and improve competitiveness in the renewable energy sector.
