The Union Minister for New and Renewable Energy and Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution, Pralhad Joshi, launched the Green Hydrogen Certification Portal of India (GHCI). Developed by The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE), the portal will facilitate transparent certification and regulatory compliance under the Green Hydrogen Certification Scheme of India.
Joshi requested states to actively participate in advancing the National Green Hydrogen Mission. He said six states have already notified dedicated green hydrogen policies, while seven others have integrated hydrogen into their existing industrial and renewable energy policy frameworks. He added that four more States are in the process of finalising their policies.
Highlighting efforts to strengthen domestic manufacturing, he stated that financial incentives have been awarded to 15 companies to establish 3,000 MW per annum of indigenous electrolyser manufacturing capacity, reducing dependence on imported supply chains.
