The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy has announced a final extension for the submission of proposals for the Centre of Excellence under the R&D scheme for green hydrogen as part of the National Green Hydrogen Mission. The initial call for proposals was issued on November 4, 2024, inviting eligible institutions to submit their proposals by December 19, 2024.

Following multiple requests from stakeholders for additional time to prepare quality proposals, the ministry has extended the deadline to January 18, 2025. This extension aims to provide sufficient time for institutions and industries to develop and submit their applications. The ministry clarified that no further extensions would be granted beyond this date.

The terms and conditions outlined in the original call for proposals issued on November 4, 2024, remain unchanged. This decision has been made with the approval of the competent authority, ensuring that stakeholders have clarity and ample time to meet the revised deadline. The initiative underscores the government’s commitment to advancing research and innovation in green hydrogen technology.
