The Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI), under the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE), has issued a significant call for proposals. 

The agency is seeking to select qualified entities to prepare Detailed Project Reports (DPRs) for the establishment of Green Hydrogen Hubs across the country. 

This initiative is a key component of the National Green Hydrogen Mission, with an official announcement made on September 17, 2025.

The development of these hubs is crucial for accelerating India's transition to a renewable energy economy and positioning the country as a leader in the global green hydrogen market. 

Financial assistance of up to Rs 3 crore per state is available for the preparation of each DPR. 

The application process is being conducted through a single-bid e-tendering system, requiring applicants to submit specific fees and an Earnest Money Deposit (EMD). 

The funding will be disbursed in three stages, with payments tied to the acceptance of the draft and final DPRs. 

This program is a critical step towards creating a comprehensive green hydrogen ecosystem that will support India's long-term energy sustainability goals.
