**Executive Summary**
The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) is implementing the National Green Hydrogen Mission (NGHM) to establish India as a global hub for Green Hydrogen production, usage, and export, targeting 5 Million Metric Tonnes per annum by 2030. The report outlines significant steps taken under NGHM to reduce the cost of Green Hydrogen, including incentive schemes and other facilitating measures. Green Hydrogen/Green Ammonia Plants commissioned on or before 31.12.2030 can avail of benefits.
**Key Points / Main Content**
* **Incentive Schemes:**
* Electrolyser Manufacturing: 15 companies awarded a total manufacturing capacity of 3,000 MW per annum, with a total incentive of Rs. 4440 crores.
* Green Hydrogen Production: 18 companies awarded a cumulative production capacity of 8,62,000 tonnes per annum.
* Green Hydrogen for Refineries: 2 companies awarded a total capacity of 20,000 tonnes per annum.
* **Facilitating Measures:**
* Green Hydrogen/Green Ammonia Plants commissioned on or before 31.12.2030 utilizing renewable energy are exempted from Inter State Transmission System (ISTS) charges for 25 years, starting from the commissioning date.
* Duty benefits under Section 26 of SEZ Act, 2005 are allowed for the installation, Operation and Maintenance (O&M) of renewable energy equipment exclusively for captive consumption.
* **Research and Development:**
* MNRE is supporting a project titled 'Scale-up of Perovskite Tandem Solar Cells (Phase-I)' with a total project cost of Rs. 83.19 crores.
**Impact Analysis**
**Green Hydrogen/Green Ammonia Plants**
* **Impact:** Reduction in production costs due to exemptions from ISTS charges and duty benefits. Plants commissioned on or before 31.12.2030 are impacted.
* **Action Required:** Commission plants on or before 31.12.2030 to avail of the exemption from ISTS charges for 25 years, and ensure compliance with Section 26 of SEZ Act, 2005 for duty benefits.
**Electrolyser Manufacturers, Green Hydrogen Producers, Refineries**
* **Impact:** Benefit from incentive schemes to support manufacturing, production, and procurement.
* **Action Required:** Ensure compliance with the terms of the incentive schemes to receive awarded incentives.
**Renewable Energy Equipment Manufacturers**
* **Impact:** Benefit from duty benefits under Section 26 of SEZ Act, 2005 for installation, Operation and Maintenance (O&M) of renewable energy equipment for captive consumption.

The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) 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.
India’s Green Hydrogen production capacity is likely to reach 5 Million Metric Tonnes per annum by
2030.
Significant steps have been taken under NGHM for reducing the cost of green hydrogen, details of which
are provided below:
i. Under the incentive scheme for Electrolyser Manufacturing, 15 companies have been awarded a
total manufacturing capacity of 3,000 MW per annum. The total incentive awarded is Rs. 4440 crores.
ii. Under the incentive scheme for Green Hydrogen production, 18 companies have been awarded a
cumulative production capacity of 8,62,000 tonnes per annum.
iii. Under the incentive scheme for procurement of Green Hydrogen for refineries, 2 companies have
been awarded a total capacity of 20,000 tonnes per annum.
Other steps taken to facilitate reduction in green hydrogen cost, are as follows:
i. Green Hydrogen/Green Ammonia Plants commissioned on or before 31.12.2030, and which utilize
renewable energy for the production of green hydrogen or green ammonia, have been granted exemption
from the payment of Inter State Transmission System (ISTS) charges for a period of 25 years, starting
from the date of commissioning of the project.
ii. Duty benefits under Section 26 of SEZ Act, 2005 have been allowed to the units for installation as
well as Operation and Maintenance (O&M) of renewable energy equipment exclusively for captive
consumption of the unit.
MNRE is supporting a Research and Development project titled ‘Scale-up of Perovskite Tandem Solar
Cells (Phase-I)’ with total project cost of Rs. 83.19 crores for scaleup and indigenisation of perovskite
tandem solar cell technology.
