This month, Ambani said hydrogen can be made from renewable energy at USD 1 per kilogram in a decade’s time, PTI reported.
And on Tuesday, Adani outlined his vision with an investment size of USD 20 billion and the cheapest green electron. He said no company in the world is building a renewable power portfolio on the scale the Adani group is doing, as per the PTI report.

“We have done this in just two years and our Renewables Portfolio has reached our initial target of 25GW a full four years ahead of schedule. This puts us well on track to be the world’s largest renewable power generating company by 2030.This also opens up several new pathways for us including setting us up to be one of the largest green hydrogen producers in the world”, Adani said, as per an IANS report.
Notably, Hydrogen has no carbon emissions and can be used as fuel in industry and automobiles.
