In a notable development, NTPC Limited has invited a global ‘expression of interest’ to set up a pilot project on hydrogen blending with natural gas in city gas distribution. This pilot project on hydrogen blending with natural gas will be the first of its kind in India and would explore the viability of decarbonising India’s natural gas grid.

NTPC Limited is also keenly exploring production of green ammonia to decarbonise the fertiliser industry and possibly fulfil government’s upcoming mandate of using certain percentage of green hydrogen in fertiliser and refinery sector.
