Recently, the Chennai Petroleum Corporation issued a tender to install a GHGU of 2 KTA capacity on a build, own, and operate basis at its Manali Refinery, Chennai. Selected bidders must source renewable energy from their solar or wind projects or purchase it from third-party energy producers during the contractual period.

In November 2024, Power Grid Corporation of India invited bids to establish a solar-powered green hydrogen project and fuel cell-based microgrid system at the 400/220 kV Neemrana substation, Rajasthan. The tender targeted setting up the solar project, the green hydrogen production plant using water electrolysis, the hydrogen storage facility, and a fuel cell to generate electricity to meet the substation’s day and night load demands.

In 2023, NTPC Renewable Energy chose Hild Electric, a manufacturer and deployer of electrolyzers, as the alkaline electrolyzer technology provider. NTPC has set a target of  producing at least 150 kilotons per annum of green hydrogen by 2032.
