The scheme will provide up to ₹5 crore per project for pilot projects in innovative hydrogen production, storage, transport and utilisation technologies. Twenty-five start-ups have showcased their innovations, ranging from electrolyser manufacturing to AI-driven optimisation and biological hydrogen solutions.
