The Centre in India recently issued guidelines for funding testing facilities, infrastructure, and institutional support under the National Green Hydrogen (NGH) mission. With a budget of Rs. 200 crores allocated until the financial year 2025-26, the scheme targets the identification of gaps in existing testing facilities for green hydrogen and its derivatives. The initiative aims to support the creation of new testing facilities and upgrade existing ones to ensure safe and secure operations in the value chain of Green Hydrogen. The National Institute of Solar Energy (NISE) will play a key role as the scheme implementation agency, focusing on developing quality and performance testing facilities to maintain quality, sustainability, and safety in green hydrogen production and trade. The National Green Hydrogen Mission, launched in January 2023 with an outlay of Rs. 19,744 crores until FY 2029-30, is part of India's vision to achieve self-reliance through clean energy and serve as a model for global clean energy transitions.
