The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) has formally recognised Deendayal Port Authority (Gujarat), V.O. Chidambaranar Port Authority (Tamil Nadu), and Paradip Port Authority (Odisha) as green hydrogen hubs under the National Green Hydrogen Mission.
This recognition aims to foster a sustainable hydrogen ecosystem by promoting large‑scale production, utilisation, and export of green hydrogen. The move is expected to accelerate India’s transition to clean energy and support its ambition of achieving net‑zero emissions by 2070.
Under revised guidelines for hydrogen valley innovation clusters issued in June 2025, designated hubs can be recognised even without direct financial assistance, yet projects within the hubs become eligible for incentives under existing central and state schemes.
