  • Guidelines for different sub-components of NGHM:
    • Green Hydrogen Hubs: Aims to set up at least two hubs by FY2025-26, with support for development of core infrastructure at hubs.
      • Hydrogen hub is an identified geographical region with network of hydrogen producers, end use with sufficient infrastructure for storage, processing and transportation. 
    • Skilling, up-skilling and re-skilling: Through Short Term Training (STT), Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL), and creating Centres of Excellence.
    • SIGHT Program - Component I: Incentive Scheme for Electrolyzer Manufacturing: To provide support for electrolyser manufacturing.
      • Implementation by MNRE through Solar Energy Corporation of India.
      • SIGHT component II deals with incentives on production of green hydrogen
    • R&D Scheme: R&D support for hydrogen production, storage, compression, transportation, utilization etc. till FY2025-26.
