provide support for the development of quality and performance
testing facilities and infrastructure to validate and certify
technology used in the green hydrogen value chain.
In line with this initiative, the MNRE on July 4, 2024, notified
scheme guidelines for funding of testing facilities, infrastructure
and institutional support for development of standards and
regulatory framework (“Scheme”) with a
budgetary outlay of INR 200,00,00,000 (Indian Rupees two hundred
