Maharashtra Approves Green Hydrogen Policy

The Maharashtra state cabinet approved the state's Green Hydrogen Policy to promote renewable energy and green hydrogen projects in Maharashtra in order to support renewable energy projects in the state.

The state cabinet has gave its approval for Rs 85.62 billion to carry out this policy.

According to the policy, during the ten years following the project's execution, there will be a 50% and 60% discount on the transmission and wheeling fees, respectively.

For the next 10 and 15 years, respectively, hybrid and stand-alone power plants will get a 100% tariff discount and be immune from cross-subsidy and surcharge.

“Apart from this, as per the package scheme of incentives 2019, a subsidy of Rs 50 per kg will be given for blending green hydrogen into gas for 5 years. Also, the first 20 green hydrogen refueling stations will be given 30 per cent capital cost subsidy up to a maximum of Rs 4.50 crore. The first 500 green hydrogen based fuel cell passenger vehicles will be given a capital cost subsidy of up to Rs 60 lakh per vehicle, subject to a 30 per cent capital cost subsidy.
