Gujarat will become green hydrogen hub: PM Modi

Gujarat will become the world’s biggest green hydrogen hub and will attract investments worth ₹8-10 lakh crore from across the world for the development of green hydrogen and its ecosystem, said Prime Minister Narendra Modi at a rally in Bhavnagar.

Modi stated that in the coming years, the world order for energy will change drastically with the inclusion of green hydrogen in the energy portfolio.

He stated that in coming times, Gujarat will make a quantum jump and that the State’s coastal regions of Kutch, Saurashtra including Bhavnagar will witness massive investment inflows from across the globe creating new employment opportunities with the rise of green hydrogen.

Meanwhile, referring to Vedanta and Foxconn’s proposed semiconductor manufacturing facility in Gujarat, Modi stated that the facility will come up in Dholera, in the neighbourhood of Bhavnagar.
