The government on Thursday unveiled the first part of the National Hydrogen Policy, offering waiver of inter-state transmission charges for 25 years for projects commissioned until June 30, 2025, and grid transmission connectivity on priority basis.
Power and new & renewable energy minister Raj Kumar Singh said the policy will help lower the cost of producing carbon-free green hydrogen, adding that green hydrogen produced in India will be globally competitive. “We want India to emerge as the export hub for green hydrogen and green ammonia,” he said.
