Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Friday held talks with Avaada Group for setting up a green hydrogen project worth Rs 45,000 crore in the state.
The project can generate employment for 12,000 persons, he said.
The Eknath Shinde-led Maharashtra government was recently under fire after a semiconductor project by Vedanta-Foxconn and a military aircraft project by Tata-Airbus was bagged by Gujarat.
"Had a very detailed meeting with team Avaada Group led by Vineet Mittal on green hydrogen, an important anchor of the future energy transition as a part of Hon PM Narendra Modi ji's vision," Fadnavis tweeted.
This is a first-of-its-kind project globally and will be worth Rs 45,000 crore, he added.
