NTPC Renewable Energy (NTPC REL), a subsidiary of NTPC Green Energy (NGEL), recently entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Deendayal Port Authority (DPA) to set up a green hydrogen fueling station and introduce 11 hydrogen-powered buses at Kandla Port in Gujarat.

The agreement was formalised in the presence of Union Minister for Ports, Shipping and Waterways, Sarbananda Sonowal, and MLA Maltiben Maheshwari, along with senior representatives from NTPC and DPA.

Additionally, the company is working on establishing a green hydrogen hub in Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh, as part of its strategy to achieve 60 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2032.
