## ANSWER

## THE MINISTER OF STATE FOR NEW & RENEWABLE ENERGY AND POWER (SHRI SHRIPAD YESSO NAIK)

(a) & (b) As per report titled ' Green Hydrogen: Enabling Measures Roadmap for Adoption in India ' by World Economic Forum, 6.5 Million Metric Tonnes (MMT) per annum of hydrogen is produced and utilised in the country. The Category wise and state wise data is not maintained at present.

As per the information available, the status of green hydrogen production capacity installed is placed at Annexure.

The following green hydrogen hubs have been identified under the National Green Hydrogen Mission so far:

- i. M/s NTPC group, through its subsidiary, NTPC Green Energy Limited, has identified a Green Hydrogen Hub project at Pudimadaka, Andhra Pradesh.
- ii. The  Ministry  of  Ports,  Shipping  and  Waterways  has  identified  three  major  ports  viz. Deendayal, Paradip and V.O. Chidambaranar (Tuticorin) Ports as hydrogen hubs.
- iii. Four (4 nos.) Hydrogen Valley Innovation Clusters (HVIC) have been identified namely Jodhpur HVIC, Pune HVIC, Bhubaneshwar HVIC and Agency for New and Renewable Energy Research and Technology (ANERT) HVIC, Kerala.

Government of Andhra Pradesh has recently issued an order for establishing the State as India's largest green hydrogen hub and outlining a roadmap to transform Andhra Pradesh into a Green Hydrogen Valley by 2030.

(c) & (d) The Government of India is implementing the National Green Hydrogen Mission (NGHM), with an objective to make India a global hub of production, usage and export of green hydrogen and its derivatives. The NGHM has set a target to establish 5 MMT of green hydrogen production capacity for domestic use as well as export purpose.

Strategic Interventions for Green Hydrogen Transition (SIGHT) is a key component of the Mission which provides financial incentives for production of green hydrogen and electrolyser manufacturing. A production capacity of 8,62,000 tonnes per annum of green hydrogen has been allocated under this scheme to be used as feedstock or energy source for the replacement of fossil fuel -based hydrogen production.

(e)&(f)  To  adopt  green  hydrogen  technologies  and  shift  from  fossil  fuel-based  hydrogen production, the following steps have been taken:

- i. Scheme Guidelines for Implementation of SIGHT Programme -Component -II: Incentive for Procurement of Green Ammonia Production (under Mode -2A), under the Mission have been issued on 16 th January 2024. Thirteen fertilizer companies have indicated an annual  demand  of  724,000  tonnes  of  green  ammonia  to  replace  ammonia  currently produced from fossil fuel-based sources.
- ii. Scheme Guidelines for Implementation of SIGHT Programme -Component -II: Incentive for Procurement of Green Hydrogen Production (under Mode -2B), under the Mission have been issued on 16 th January 2024.

MNRE has advised states to incorporate provisions related to green hydrogen in their policies. MNRE had also organised a workshop on National Green Hydrogen Mission with states on 6 th June 2024 at New Delhi.

Several states have taken proactive steps in this regard, details of which are as follows:

- i. Dedicated Green Hydrogen policies notified by the states of Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, and West Bengal
- ii. Facilitative provisions under the Renewable Energy or Energy or Industrial policies have been  included  by  the  states  of  Bihar,  Himachal  Pradesh,  Madhya  Pradesh,  Odisha, Telangana, Rajasthan, Assam, and Chhattisgarh.
