Green hydrogen, produced through the electrolysis of water using renewable energy sources like solar or wind, represents a cornerstone of the global energy transition. Unlike "grey" hydrogen derived from fossil fuels, green hydrogen emits no carbon dioxide during production, making it a vital tool for decarbonizing hard-to-abate sectors such as heavy industry, transportation, and power generation. As of January 2026, the sector is at a pivotal juncture. After years of hype an

In a pivotal development for India's burgeoning energy storage sector, PM Green, a wholly owned subsidiary of Hyderabad-based Power Mech Projects, has emerged as the winner of the West Bengal State Electricity Distribution Company Limited (WBSEDCL)'s auction for a 250 MW/1,000 MWh standalone Battery Energy Storage System (BESS). The project, set to be established at the Goaltore substation in Paschim Midnapore district, marks a significant step toward enhancing grid reliabili

Uttarakhand’s amendment formally brings Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) into renewable tariff rules, setting useful life at 12 years, a net BESS tariff of ₹5.78/kWh, and new commissioning, depreciation, and metering norms—effective from 27 November 2025. The Uttarakhand Electricity Regulatory Commission (UERC) issued the second amendment to its renewable tariff regulations to explicitly include BESS alongside solar and small hydro, renaming the principal regulation and

India’s National Green Hydrogen Mission (NGHM) is positioning the country as a global hub for green hydrogen production, consumption, and export, with ambitious targets of 5 MMT annual production capacity by 2030, 125 GW renewable energy integration, and significant socio-economic benefits including ₹8 lakh crore investment and 6 lakh jobs. The global green hydrogen market is undergoing rapid expansion, driven by decarbonization imperatives, falling renewable energy costs, an
