'Hydrogen Valley' in Amaravati to focus on sustainability: CM
Addressing the 'Green Hydrogen Summit-2025' at a private college in the greenfield capital city, Naidu noted that two valleys are coming up in Amaravati -- 'Quantum Valley' and 'Hydrogen Valley'. "I am very happy. We are focusing on Hydrogen Valley starting from here (Amaravati). Two valleys are coming here. One is Quantum Valley for computing and technology (and) one is the green Hydrogen Valley to protect nature for sustainability. This is very important," said Naidu.
According to the CM, protecting nature and imbibing technology in that endeavour will lead to limitless development. He observed that there is a need for green energy, downstream industries and the total ecosystem.
Further, the TDP supremo highlighted that the southern state is aiming to contribute nearly 160 GW of green energy in the near future out of the national target of producing 500 GW by 2030 set by the Centre. He noted that the TDP-led NDA government announced policies for attracting Rs 10 lakh crore investment in green energy, which could lead to the generation of 7.5 lakh jobs.
Listing out some of the green energy goals set by Andhra Pradesh, he said it aims to achieve electrolyser manufacturing capacity of 3 GW, solar energy projects (78.5 GW), wind energy projects (35 GW), pumped storage projects (22 GW) and others. Naidu said the state is aiming to achieve a battery energy storage system of 25 GW per hour, ethanol (50 kilo litres per day) and set up 500 electric vehicle recharging stations and elaborated on other renewable energy projects. To attract investments, Naidu said Andhra Pradesh has extended the best incentives, including for manufacturing electrolysers and called on investors to inform the government if any other state has given better incentives to outdo them. Further, he highlighted that Andhra Pradesh has all the advantages for solar, wind and pumped energy. As water is important for pumped energy, he said the state is endowed with this advantage and emphasised that ports are crucial for exports. For every 50 km distance, Naidu said Andhra Pradesh will establish a port, among other goals.

Alleging irregularities in flower market leasing, AIADMK councillors walk out of Salem corpn meeting
SALEM: Alleging irregularities in the leasing process of the VOC Flower Market complex, AIADMK councillors led by party's leader of opposition in the council N Yadavamoorthy walked out of the Salem City Municipal Corporation's monthly council meeting, on Friday. The meeting was chaired by Mayor A Ramachandran, along with Deputy Mayor M Saradha Devi and Salem City Corporation Commissioner M Elangovan. The AIADMK councillors strongly opposed the corporation's move to lease the flower market shops directly to vendors. The complex, developed under the Smart City project under the AIADMK regime, was originally leased to a private party. After the private party withdrew from the contract, the corporation invited fresh tenders and decided to handle the leasing by itself. AIADMK councillors said the corporation is now demanding advance payments of up to Rs 8 lakh and monthly rents of up to Rs 20,000 from vendors. They argued that such high costs would be unaffordable for small flower sellers who have been operating at the market for decades.
