India sets eyes on 10% of global green hydrogen demand
India is strategically aiming for a 10% share of the global green hydrogen market by 2030, targeting exports. The nation has already awarded substantial green hydrogen production and electrolyser manufacturing capacities to multiple companies. Recent global tenders indicate green hydrogen is becoming economically competitive, fostering international collaborations, particularly with the EU, to advance the sector.
ANI New Delhi: India aims to capture nearly 10% of global green hydrogen demand that is expected to exceed 100 million metric tonnes by 2030, minister of state for power and new and renewable energy Shripad Naik said on Tuesday. Substantial progress has been made towards green hydrogen production targets with 862,000 tonnes per year of production capacity already awarded to 19 companies under the National Green Hydrogen Mission, Naik said at the FICCI Green Hydrogen Summit 2025.The government has also awarded 3,000 MW of electrolyser manufacturing capacity to 15 companies."We want to make India not only a major producer but also a global hub for green hydrogen export,' Naik said, outlining the country's strategy to position itself as a reliable exporter.Global green and clean hydrogen market is making headway led by lowering prices, industry executives said.'In one of the global tenders, green has come out cheaper than blue," Vipul Tuli, chair of FICCI's Renewable Energy CEOs Committee and Sembcorp India, said. "Please understand the implications of that - it's a very significant development." The EU demonstrated strong support for bilateral cooperation in the sector.

Need to move from store-based to unified entity licensing: Reliance Retail
There is also a need for moving towards post-license inspections from pre-license inspections in order to speed up store openings Press Trust of India New Delhi With modern organised retail growing at a fast pace, there is a need for regulatory reforms in the sector, moving from store-based licensing to entity-based unified licensing, Reliance Retail President Ravi Gandhi said on Wednesday. There is also a need for moving towards post-license inspections from pre-license inspections in order to speed up store openings, he said, while speaking at the 'MASSMERIZE 2025' event organised by industry chamber Ficci. "Today, all the laws (related to the retail sector) in the country are designed for individual stores. All licenses are individual store-based," he said. With a lot of organised retailers coming up, instead of store-based licenses, a shift to a unified entity-based license will enhance ease of doing business, Gandhi added. He also noted that there is a need to re-examine the inspection requirements. There are numerous documentation and inspection requirements when applying for a license, he noted. Stating that the pre-inspection takes a lot of time, Gandhi said, if the inspection can be moved from pre-license to post-license, it will speed up the opening of stores.

Modi, Putin to meet in Delhi by end of year
Russian President Vladimir Putin and Prime Minister Narendra Modi will meet in New Delhi by the end of the year; however, the dates are yet to be finalised, news agency Reuters reported, quoting the Russian embassy in India Wednesday. The announcement comes at a time when geopolitical tensions continue to rise, with the United States imposing tariffs on Indian goods in a bid to increase pressure on Russia over its actions in Ukraine. Accusing the US of double standards, Russian deputy chief of mission Babushkin said, 'Sanctions are hitting those who are imposing them, disrespecting national interests. Pressure on India not to buy Russian oil is unjustified. We are confident India-Russia energy cooperation will continue notwithstanding external pressure.' 'If Indian goods cannot go to the US market, they can head to Russia, and India matters very much to Russia,' Babushkin said, calling the sanctions unjustified. He also asserted that Russia understands the challenging circumstances for India and is committed to removing them. He emphasised that Russia values its strategic partnership with India, and is committed to supporting New Delhi during challenging circumstances. 'If Indian goods cannot go to the US market, they can head to Russia, and India matters very much to Russia,' Babushkin said, adding that the current sanctions were 'unjustified'. Babushkin further stated that India understands the current global energy supply situation, saying, 'India understands there is no chance to change supplies right now, and the profit is very high for India.' Despite the ongoing pressures and shifting dynamics, Babushkin noted that India and Russia have 'always managed to find ways to work in our interests despite issues'. 'Mechanisms are in place to continue oil supplies to India,' he assured, adding that both countries are working to remove further barriers to trade in order to strengthen economic cooperation. The Russian Embassy also underlined the strategic significance of India-Russia-China relations. 'Engagements between Russia, China, and India, are important for regional security,' he said hoping for a trilateral will happen with India and China sooner rather than later.'

Trump Imposed Tariffs on India to End Russia-Ukraine War, Says White House
New Delhi: White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said on August 19, that US president Donald Trump has imposed sanctions on India with a view to end the Russia-Ukraine war. 'The President has put tremendous public pressure to bring this war to a close. He has taken actions as you [have] seen, sanctions on India and other actions as well. He has made himself very clear that he wants to see this war end,' Leavitt said, according to PTI. Earlier on the same day, Trump cabinet official Scott Bessent had said that "some of India's richest families" are involved in the country's 'unacceptable' 'profiteering' from buying and reselling Russian crude. A day ago, senior White House trade adviser and economist Peter Navarro wrote in a newspaper column that the proceeds from India's purchases of Russian oil are flowing to India's "politically connected energy titans, and in turn, into Vladimir Putin's war chest'. With these three back-to-back statements, India's worries deepen on how US sees its continued purchases of oil from Moscow. Trump's 25% 'penalty' tariff on India, above the 25% 'reciprocal' tariff brings India's total to a whopping 50%. This is likely to affect several export industries. PTI reports that the White House also – once again – claimed that Trump has ended the military conflict between India and Pakistan. 'The President is using the might of American strength to demand that respect from our allies, our friends, and our adversaries all around the world,' Leavitt said at a press briefing, according to PTI. She said that it was seen not only in the progress with Russia and Ukraine but also 'in the closing of seven global conflicts around the world'. 'We've seen it with the end of the conflict between India and Pakistan, which could have resulted in a nuclear war if we had not had a President who believed in the strength and the leverage that comes with the job of being the President of the United States of America,' Leavitt said. In an answer to another question, reported PTI, Leavitt said that Trump used trade 'in a very powerful way as leverage' to bring the India-Pakistan conflict to an end.
