The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) in India has initiated the second call for Research and Development (R&D) proposals under the National Green Hydrogen Mission with the goal of accelerating the development of indigenous and cost-effective green hydrogen technologies. The R&D program seeks to advance green hydrogen across production, storage, transportation, and utilization segments. Applications for proposals must be submitted by August 21, 2025, aligning with objectives that focus on improving the affordability, safety, efficiency, and scalability of green hydrogen technologies. Proposals should also encourage collaborative research and development among academia, industry, and government institutions to support the scaling up and commercialization of promising technologies. The key areas for R&D include innovations in hydrogen production, storage, transportation methods, and application development. The entities eligible to submit proposals encompass academic institutions, R&D institutions, governmental bodies, private research institutions, and industries with the necessary infrastructure. The funding structure allows academic and governmental institutions to receive up to 100% funding, while private institutions and industries can access up to 80% of the project cost. Academic-industry consortia also have specific guidelines for funding distribution. The MNRE's R&D Roadmap for the National Green Hydrogen Mission, unveiled in July 2023, allocated ₹4 billion (~$48.12 million) to develop an ecosystem conducive to green hydrogen commercialization. This initiative aims to drive innovation, collaboration, and the advancement of green hydrogen technologies in India, contributing to the country's sustainable energy goals.
