The Centre in India has taken a significant step towards advancing Green Hydrogen technology by issuing guidelines for funding testing facilities and infrastructure under the National Green Hydrogen (NGH) mission. The scheme, with a budget of Rs. 200 crores until 2025-26, aims to bridge gaps in existing testing facilities for components, technologies, and processes in the Green Hydrogen value chain. It supports the establishment of new facilities and the enhancement of existing ones to ensure safe and secure operations. The National Institute of Solar Energy (NISE) will spearhead the implementation of the scheme to develop quality and performance testing facilities, promoting sustainability and safety in Green Hydrogen production and trade. Launched in 2023, the National Green Hydrogen Mission has a significant financial outlay until 2029-30, aiming to propel India towards self-reliance in clean energy and set an example for the global Clean Energy Transition.
