Foundation stone laid for Indian Green Hydrogen Hub

The project, which is being developed jointly by NGEL, the renewable arm of NTPC Ltd, and NREDCAP, the renewable arm of the Goverment of Andhra Pradesh is the first Green Hydrogen Hub under the National Green Hydrogen Mission.

NGEL and New & Renewable Energy Development Corporation of AP Ltd (NREDCAP) have already signed a JV agreement for the development of a 20 GW RE projects, 1500 tpd Green Hydrogen, and 7500 tpd green hydrogen derivatives (including green methanol, green urea, and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF)), making it one of India’s largest integrated green hydrogen production facilities.

This is expected to bring approximately 1 85 000 Crore of investment to the state and provide huge employment opportunities while at the same time contributing substantially in achieving India's non-fossil energy capacity target of 500 GW by 2030.

Further, the company has also signed a similar Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Government of Rajasthan for the development of 25 GW of renewable energy projects in the state of Rajasthan.

Going forward, NGEL is also exploring similar kinds of collaborations with other state governments.

Spread over 1600 acres, the NTPC Green Energy Ltd Green Hydrogen Hub Project at Pudimadaka will include the development of a manufacturing facility, a green chemical zone, a chemical storage terminal, port infrastructure, a transmission corridor, a 7 GW substation, an 80 MLD desalination plant, an effluent treatment plant, and other facilities, making it a comprehensive operational framework.

The project aims to contribute significantly to the local economy and showcase Andhra Pradesh’s role as a key player in the global green energy landscape. Besides playing a key role in India’s quest for energy independence, this project will help drive decarbonisation across major sectors and strengthen the country’s net zero goals.
