The Ministry of New & Renewable Energy in India has taken a significant step by updating the guidelines for the National Green Hydrogen Mission, aiming to achieve a production capacity of 5 million tonnes of Green Hydrogen by 2030. The focus has shifted towards increasing Green Ammonia production to cater to the growing demand in the fertilizer sector, with an amendment raising the allocation to 750,000 tonnes per annum from the initial 550,000 tonnes. This move is in line with the sector's expanding needs and supports the broader objectives of the mission. The National Green Hydrogen Mission, launched in 2023 with a substantial investment, plays a vital role in India's quest for energy self-reliance. The mission not only targets reducing the country's carbon footprint but also aims to lessen dependency on fossil fuel imports, establishing India as a frontrunner in Green Hydrogen technology and markets worldwide. The Solar Energy Corporation of India has initiated a competitive bidding process to select Green Ammonia Producers, emphasizing market competitiveness and efficiency, which aligns with the strategic goals of the mission.
