- (d)  The  Ministry  of  New  and  Renewable  Energy  is  implementing  the  National  Green  Hydrogen Mission, with an objective of make India a global hub of production, usage, and export of Green Hydrogen  and  its  derivatives.  Government  have  launched  several  initiatives  under  the  Mission, including  scheme  guidelines  for  incentive  schemes  for  production  of  Green  Hydrogen  and electrolyzer  manufacturing  under  the  Strategic  Interventions  for  Green  Hydrogen  Transition (SIGHT) Programme. A production capacity of 412,000 tonnes per annum of Green Hydrogen has been allocated. In addition, electrolyzer manufacturing capacity of 1,500 MW per annum has been assigned  under  Tranche  I.  For  Tranche  II,  11  companies  have  been  shortlisted  for  an  additional allocation of 1,500 MW per annum capacity. Scheme guidelines have been issued for implementing Green Hydrogen-based pilot projects in the steel, shipping, and road transport sectors, as well as for establishing hydrogen hubs. Under Strategic Interventions for Green Hydrogen Transition - Mode2B (SIGHT-2B) scheme Tranche-I, 200 KTA of Green Hydrogen capacities have been allocated to Indian  refineries.  Oil  and  Gas  PSUs  have  committed  Green  Hydrogen  Capacity  of  900  KTA  by 2030.
