NGEL’s Green Hydrogen Ambitions Grow

The proposed hydrogen fuelling station at VOC Port is part of NGEL’s broader strategy to develop green hydrogen hubs across India. In addition to this project, NGEL is currently working on establishing a green hydrogen hub in Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh.

The company is also targeting a renewable energy capacity of 60 GW by 2032, supported by integrated energy storage solutions, according to a statement released by NTPC.
