His address showcased that India's vision to not only meet its domestic demand but also become a major global exporter of green hydrogen by 2030 — contributing meaningfully to decarbonisation action.
To drive this transition, the National Green Hydrogen Mission was launched by the Government in 2023, with an initial allocation of $2.4 billion.
It lays out a comprehensive roadmap to identify and create demand in potential sectors, provide production incentives for setting up domestic capacity, achieve 5 million metric tonnes of green hydrogen production by 2030, avert nearly 50 MMT of CO2 emissions annually, attract investments of about $100 billion and generate over 600,000 jobs.
The country recently launched the 'Green Hydrogen Certification Scheme'. Green Hydrogen and Green Ammonia plants have been exempted from environmental clearance by the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change.
To push this forward, three major ports -- Kandla, Paradip and Tuticorin ports -- have been identified by Ministry of Ports, Shipping and Waterways (MoPSW) to be developed as Green Hydrogen hubs.
Furthermore, 15 states have announced policies to support green hydrogen.

HC bench orders UP govt not to demolish any madrassa in Shravasti
Lucknow: The Lucknow bench of the Allahabad high court has ordered that the Uttar Pradesh authorities would not take any coercive action against more than two dozen madrassas of Shravasti district. It also cautioned the state that it would not demolish any madrassas which have approached the court. The bench asked the state government to file its reply against the writ petitions till July 3. A bench of Justice Jaspreet Singh passed the order on the petitions moved by Madarssa Moinul Islam Qasmiya Samiti and 26 other madrassas individually in Shravasti. In April, the UP had govt launched a major drive against illegal encroachments in districts near the India-Nepal border, Bahraich, Shravasti, Siddharthnagar, Maharajganj, and Balrampur, demolishing hundreds of unauthorised structures, including unrecognised religious institutions. Illegal constructions were demolished in Shravasti and Bahraich, while in Siddharthnagar, 12 illegal structures were identified and notices issued. In Lakhimpur Kheri, a day-long survey found no illegal encroachments. These actions target long-standing illegal occupations of valuable border land, which the Yogi govt is determined to reclaim, the UP govt order said. In his order on Friday, Justice Singh observed, "It is now equally well settled that where any notice in the nature of a show cause is issued, it must be issued with sufficient particularity so that the noticee can respond specifically and can know what charge is to be replied." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo The bench had already passed a similar order allowing a petition filed in connection with another such madrassa, Maktab Anwarul Uloom, Shravasti, on May 14.

1.6k cr Godavari purification work to begin before Kumbh
Nashik: The Godavari purification project worth Rs1,600 crore to make the river free of pollution will start before the Simhastha Kumbh Mela to be held between 2026 and 2028. Nashik Municipal Corporation (NMC) has completed the tender process and finalised an eligible private agency. During the Kumbh Mela meeting held in Nashik city last week, NMC commissioner Manisha Khatri requested Fadnavis for his approval to award the contract to the agency concerned. Speaking to reporters after the meeting, the CM said he had received the proposal and it was under consideration. Khatri told TOI the state govt is positive about the agency and NMC expects to get an approval soon. The Godavari purification project includes construction of four large new sewage treatment plants (STPs) in place of the eight old ones, construction of sewage pumping stations and diverting untreated sewage from 22 nullahs to STPs through new sewage lines to be constructed under the project. NMC's nine old STPs are around 30 years old. The civic body's major concern is that levels of biological oxygen demand and the total suspended solids of the treated sewage water at the old STPs are in the range of 20 to 25. It needs to be below 5 as per environmental norms. The total sewage water treatment capacity of these old nine STPs is around 342 MLD. At present, the civic body has 11 STPs, including nine old ones, treating sewage water with a total treatment capacity of 392 MLD. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Sanitize & Smooth Clothes Fast with Philips Steamer Philips Garment Steamers Shop Now Undo Two new STPs were built and made operational over the last two years. One with a capacity of 18 MLD was built in Gangapur and the other with a capacity of 32 MLD at Pimpalgaon Khamb. NMC decided to construct four new STPs and upgrade an existing one with a total capacity of new STPs instead. The four new STPs will come up at Tapovan (180 MLD capacity), Agartakli (97 MLD), Chehedi (64 MLD) and Panchak (75 MLD). Existing old STP at Agartakli with a capacity of 70 MLD is to be upgraded with new technology, said officials. Untreated domestic sewage is released in 22 nullahs flowing into the Godavari river and causing pollution. With the new STPS, untreated waste will be diverted to the nearby facilities by laying new sewage lines. As many as 10 sewage pumping stations will be built.
