BHOPAL: In a historic moment for Madhya Pradesh’s industrial journey, Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav performed the Bhoomi Pujan of a Green Hydrogen Manufacturing Unit at Piparseva Industrial Area in Morena. The project, led by GH2 Solar Limited, is set to become a cornerstone of India’s clean energy transition and an engine of regional development.
“This hydrogen unit is not just a plant, it is the foundation of a new industrial revolution, a new energy revolution, and a new Madhya Pradesh,” said CM Yadav, addressing a large gathering of industrialists, public representatives, and citizens.
Morena’s Image Transforms: From Ravines to Renewable Energy Hub
Once known for its rugged ravines, Morena is now redefining its identity. The Chief Minister noted that Morena is fast becoming a hotspot for industry and innovation, shedding its agricultural-only image. “Today, the land of Chambal is being recognized for sustainability, profitability, and progress,” he said.
Morena’s locally famous Gajak has found global markets, and its Mitawali temple inspired the architecture of India’s old Parliament House – proof of the district’s rich cultural and commercial potential.
World-Class Tech in Hydrogen Manufacturing to Create 500+ Jobs
