Markets hold gains in late trade

Indian equity markets held their gains in late trade amid rising hopes of bilateral trade deal between India and the US. This came on the back drop of U.S. ambassador to India showing optimism over the trade deal. He said ‘We fully intend in these trade talks that are ongoing right now to open the markets to crude oil, petroleum products, liquefied natural gas. You're talking about a population of 1.4 billion individuals there. Their middle class, by our definition, is larger than the entire United States of America. And so we have countless possibilities to expand into those markets, and we fully intend to do that’.  

On the global front, Asian equity markets were trading mostly in green as rising jobless claims coupled spurred expectations for more Federal Reserve rate cuts. European equity markets were trading mostly in red despite the France and Germany’s inflation data matched expectations.

Meanwhile, New & Renewable Energy Minister Pralhad Joshi has launched a Rs 100-crore scheme for startups to support innovations in green hydrogen production. He said the scheme will provide up to Rs 5 crore per project for pilot projects in innovative hydrogen production, storage, transport and utilisation technologies.

The minister underscored the vision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who launched the National Green Hydrogen Mission (NGHM) in 2023, to transform India's energy landscape and make the country a global hub for green hydrogen. He said with an outlay of Rs 19,744 crore, the Mission rests on four pillars - Policy and Regulatory Framework, Demand Creation, R&D and Innovation, and Enabling Infrastructure. Highlighting progress in research and development, he said the dedicated R&D scheme under NGHM has already awarded 23 projects in the first round. These cover key areas such as safety and integration, hydrogen production from biomass, hydrogen applications, and non-biomass hydrogen production routes. Leading IITs, IISERs, CSIR labs and industry partners are implementing these projects. The second round of R&D proposals, launched on July 14 this year, remains open till September 15. Internationally too, collaborations are expanding under the EU-India Trade and Technology Council, with over 30 joint proposals received on hydrogen production from wastewater. 

He stressed that green hydrogen ecosystem in India is already moving from vision to action. India's first port-based green hydrogen pilot project has been launched at V.O. Chidambaranar Port in Tamil Nadu. In the steel sector, five pilot projects are demonstrating hydrogen-based decarbonisation. In shipping, vessels are being retrofitted and refuelling facilities are being developed at Tuticorin Port. In transport, hydrogen buses and refuelling stations are already operational. In fertilisers, India conducted its first-ever green ammonia auction, discovering a historic low price of Rs 49.75 per kg, compared to Rs 100.28 per kg in 2024, with supplies set to begin at Paradeep Phosphates in Odisha.
