Paradip Port Authority (PPA), Odisha’s lone major port, has been officially recognized as a Green Hydrogen Hub under the National Green Hydrogen Mission (NGHM) of the centre.
PPA is now designated as a Green Hydrogen Hub, positioning it at the forefront of India’s clean energy and decarbonization efforts.
The recognition comes under the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) guidelines, enabling projects in the hub to access incentives and benefits from Central and State Government schemes, said port officials.
Green Hydrogen Hubs serve as integrated centers for hydrogen production, storage, transportation, and end-use applications. Paradip Port’s strategic location and existing infrastructure make it ideal for supporting large-scale hydrogen production and export. This initiative aligns with the National Green Hydrogen Mission’s goal to make India a global hub for Green Hydrogen production, utilization, and export, they added.
“We are honored to be recognized as a Green Hydrogen Hub. Paradip Port will leverage its infrastructure and strategic location to support the nation’s clean energy transition and contribute to India’s decarbonization journey”, P. L. Haranadh, Chairman, PPA, said.
