Key Ports Designated as Green Hydrogen Hubs

News: The Indian government has officially designated Deendayal Port (Gujarat), V.O. Chidambaranar Port (Tamil Nadu), and Paradip Port (Odisha) as Green Hydrogen Hubs.

Union Minister Sarbananda Sonowal highlighted ports as critical nodes for achieving net zero by 2070. The initiative follows a cluster-based development model, boosting early-stage project viability, infrastructure convergence, and economies of scale.

Recognition of these ports is expected to drive industrial participation, attract green investments, and foster innovation in clean fuel technologies.

Current guidelines for Hydrogen Valley Innovation Clusters (HVIC) and Green Hydrogen Hubs provide a framework to support regions with high potential for large-scale hydrogen production and use.
