NTPC Green Energy edge lower despite MoU with Japan’s ENEOS for green hydrogen supply

The collaboration marks a key step in India’s efforts to position itself as a global hub for clean energy production and exports.

The collaboration marks a key step in India’s push to become a global hub for clean energy production and exports.

The MoU was exchanged at the World Expo 2025 in Osaka, Japan, and is part of NGEL’s broader strategy to expand its renewable energy footprint. The agreement focuses on NGEL’s Green Hydrogen Hub at Pudimadaka, Andhra Pradesh, a 1,200-acre integrated facility being developed for green chemical production and export.

By aligning ENEOS’s demand for hydrogen derivatives with NGEL’s renewable energy and hydrogen projects, the partnership aims to advance decarbonisation efforts and support global net-zero goals.

Boost to NTPC’s clean energy ambitions

NGEL said the partnership supports its goal of achieving a 60-gigawatt renewable energy portfolio by 2032, reinforcing its role in India’s clean energy transition. The collaboration with ENEOS also strengthens India’s position in the global hydrogen value chain, where cross-border partnerships are becoming increasingly critical to scaling green fuel adoption.
