Under the Strategic Interventions for Green Hydrogen Transition (SIGHT) programme of the mission, 3,000 MW per annum of electrolyser manufacturing capacity has been awarded to 15 companies, and 756,100 tonnes per annum of green hydrogen production capacity has been awarded to 16 companies, he said.
He also added that green ammonia sale and purchase agreements have been signed for the production and supply of 670,000 tonnes per annum of green ammonia to 11 fertiliser units, and 30,000 tonnes per annum of green hydrogen production and supply capacity has been awarded for supply to the refineries of Indian Oil Corporation (IOCL), Bharat Petroleum Corporation (BPCL), Hindustan Petroleum Corporation (HPCL) and Numaligarh Refinery (NRL).
Further, four pilot projects have been sanctioned for the use of hydrogen in the steel sector. V O Chidambaranar Port Authority has been awarded a project for the development of a bunkering and refuelling facility for green methanol at the port, and a project has been awarded to the Shipping Corporation of India to acquire a dual-fuel ship capable of running on green methanol.
Moreover, 12 pilot projects have been sanctioned for the deployment of 70 hydrogen-fuelled vehicles and 16 hydrogen-refuelling stations across 21 routes in India. Four projects have been awarded as Hydrogen Valley Innovation Clusters (HVICs), including the Jodhpur hydrogen valley, Odisha hydrogen valley, Pune hydrogen valley and Kerala hydrogen valley.
