India will conduct auctions for green hydrogen in next 3-4 months: R K Singh

India will conduct auctions for green hydrogen in the next 3-4 months, power and renewable energy minister R K Singh said on Friday. He said the robust electricity demand would help the country in adding green energy to its portfolio without the need to retire coal-based plants.

Singh said his ministries have held discussions with the ministries of oil and gas, fertiliser and steel on the hydrogen mission to work out the bidding framework.
