ਮੇਨਜ਼
GS-III (Energy, Environment): India's push for green hydrogen and its derivatives such as green ammonia addresses the issue of fossil-fuel dependence in fertiliser and industry. The National Green Hydrogen Mission supports such projects, with implications for decarbonisation, energy security and export potential. The way forward lies in cheaper renewable power, port and electrolyser infrastructure, and assured demand.
