The government has made a strategic move towards harnessing opportunities in the burgeoning hydrogen export sector, with plans underway to transform three key ports in the country into Green Hydrogen hubs. This initiative, driven by the Ministry of Ports, Shipping, and Waterways, seeks to propel India into a prominent position in the green hydrogen market.

The selected ports, namely Kandla, Paradip, and Tuticorin, have been earmarked for this transformative endeavor.

The development of these Green Hydrogen hubs is poised to play a pivotal role in shaping India's role as a significant player in the green energy marketplace.
