Further, Hi-Tech Pipes said it has "executed an MoU with a leading renewable energy supplier for generation and captive use of green hydrogen projects in a time-bound manner. The supplier will bring its strong EPC credentials to the table with deep R&D capabilities in many aspects of green hydrogen."
