The MoU was exchanged on Friday at the ongoing World Expo 2025 in Osaka, Japan, marking a key milestone in India’s efforts to position itself as a global supplier of green fuels. The agreement aims to establish a framework for potential supply of green methanol and other hydrogen-based products from India to Japan.
The collaboration will leverage NGEL’s upcoming Green Hydrogen Hub at Pudimadaka in Andhra Pradesh, which is being developed as one of India’s largest integrated facilities for the production, storage, and export of green hydrogen and derivatives.
Spread across more than 1,200 acres, the Pudimadaka hub is designed to produce green hydrogen and convert it into derivative fuels like green ammonia and green methanol for both domestic and international markets.
NGEL said in its statement that the MoU with ENEOS aligns with its parent company NTPC’s target of achieving a 60 GW renewable energy portfolio by 2032 and supports India’s National Green Hydrogen Mission.
The partnership will combine ENEOS’s expertise in energy trading and hydrogen technologies with NGEL’s growing renewable energy base, reinforcing both countries’ commitment to decarbonisation and sustainable energy supply chains.

This agreement adds a new chapter to the expanding energy cooperation between India and Japan, particularly in clean hydrogen and ammonia trade corridors. For Japan, which aims to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, sourcing green fuels from reliable partners like India will be critical in diversifying its clean energy imports.
For NTPC Green Energy, the partnership signals its transition from a domestic renewable player to a potential exporter of green hydrogen-based products, tapping global demand for low-carbon fuels.
