Dr. Prasad Chaphekar's Intervention | Deputy Secretary, MNRE | GHIS 3.0 | 23 January 2026

#greenhydrogen #gh2india Our 3rd edition of the Green Hydrogen India Symposium (GHIS) brings together industry leaders, and global experts across the hydrogen and maritime space to deliberate on the strategies, infrastructure readiness, and policy actions necessary to scale green hydrogen, ammonia, and methanol across India’s ports and shipping value chain. At GHIS 3.0, Dr. Prasad Chaphekar, Deputy Secretary, Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) joined a fireside chat to reflect on the progress of the National Green Hydrogen Mission and addressed some of the key challenges. One notable comment from Dr. Chaphekar: "What we have achieved through the SECI green ammonia auctions is more than what we could have with mandates at this early stage" responding to the question on mandates for the sector.
