EU and India Launch Rs 39.4 Bn Joint Green Tech Projects

In a move to tackle pressing environmental issues, the European Union and India have jointly launched two major research and innovation initiatives under the EU-India Trade and Technology Council (TTC), with a combined investment of EUR 41 million (Rs 3.94 billion).

According to a statement by the EU Delegation to India, these projects focus on combatting marine pollution and developing waste-to-renewable hydrogen technologies, aligning with global sustainability goals and national policies such as India's National Marine Litter Policy and the EU’s Zero Pollution Action Plan.

The first initiative will address marine plastic litter and pollutants such as microplastics and heavy metals. It is backed by EUR 12 million from the EU and Rs 900 million (EUR 9.3 million) from India’s Ministry of Earth Sciences (MoES).

The second initiative focuses on renewable hydrogen production, with EUR 10 million from the EU and Rs 900 million (EUR 9.3 million) from the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE). This call aims to create efficient, cost-effective hydrogen solutions that support energy security and climate goals.

Both funding calls are open to Indian and European start-ups, SMEs, universities, research institutes, and NGOs, with submission deadlines in September 2025.

Additional collaborative calls are planned for 2026, including on EV battery recycling and wastewater treatment. Together, these initiatives signal a robust commitment to joint innovation and sustainable development, further strengthening EU-India strategic ties.
