NTPC Renewable Energy Limited (NTPC REL), a wholly-owned subsidiary of NTPC Green Energy Limited (NGEL), signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Deendayal Port Authority (DPA) on January 7, 2025, in Gandhidham, Gujarat.
The MoU focuses on promoting green energy technologies at Kandla Port, particularly the development of a green hydrogen mobility project. The agreement was exchanged between Shri Anuj Singh, General Manager, NTPC RE, and Shri R. Reddy, CME, DPA, in the presence of Hon’ble Union Minister for Ports, Shipping, and Waterways Shri Sarbananda Sonowal, Hon’ble MLA Ms. Maltiben Maheshwari, and senior officials from NTPC and DPA.
As part of the initiative, NGEL will establish a green hydrogen fueling station at Kandla Port and deploy 11 hydrogen-powered buses for short-haul operations. This project aims to replace fossil fuel-powered buses with clean and sustainable alternatives, advancing decarbonization and energy security.
NTPC has already been operating a successful green hydrogen blending project in Surat, Gujarat, for over two years and has implemented similar mobility initiatives in Leh (Ladakh), Greater Noida (Uttar Pradesh), and Bhubaneshwar (Odisha). The company is also developing a green hydrogen hub in Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh, and is on track to achieve 60 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2032, complemented by energy storage solutions.
