The Indian government has announced new scheme guidelines to fund testing facilities, infrastructure, and institutional support under the National Green Hydrogen Mission (NGHM) in New Delhi. The scheme, with a financial commitment of Rs 200 crore for the period 2024-26, aims to enhance the quality and testing ecosystem in the Green Hydrogen sector. The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) emphasizes the importance of developing a robust quality and testing ecosystem that meets national and international standards. The National Institute of Solar Energy (NISE) will oversee the application and implementation processes, issuing Calls for Proposals (CfP) to identify projects for establishing and upgrading testing facilities. Financial support for these initiatives will be allocated in three stages, with rigorous monitoring and evaluation to ensure project alignment with the mission's goals. The government's strategic investment aims to advance India's capabilities in Green Hydrogen and position the nation as a leader in this critical sector of the future.
