NTPC Green Energy (NGEL) has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Nayara Energy to explore opportunities in the green hydrogen and green energy space.
The MoU envisages collaborating and producing green hydrogen for Nayara Energy’s captive usage, accelerating decarbonisation and catalysing reduction in carbon footprint. This collaboration is in line with NTPC’s initiatives to develop hydrogen projects in India and aligns with the vision of Aatmanirbhar Bharat, NGEL said.
