India targets 5 million metric tonnes annual green hydrogen production capacity by 2030
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 28 (IANS) India aims to develop 5 million metric tonnes (MMT) of annual green hydrogen production capacity by 2030, an official factsheet said on Wednesday. This transition can reduce dependence on imported fossil fuels and strengthen the countrys long-term energy security. The National Green Hydrogen Mission marks an important step towards building a cleaner, more self-reliant and globally competitive energy economy. The Mission is expected to reduce cumulative fossil fuel imports by approximately Rs 1 lakh crore by 2030. Beyond energy security, the Mission seeks to create new opportunities for industrial growth, investment and employment. It is expected to mobilise over Rs 8 lakh crore in investments and generate more than 6 lakh jobs across manufacturing, infrastructure, research, and project development. The production and use of the targeted green hydrogen quantum could also help avert nearly 50 MMT of carbon dioxide emissions annually, according to the factsheet. Moreover, six States have notified dedicated green hydrogen policies, complementing the National Green Hydrogen Mission. Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan and West Bengal are the States with notified dedicated policies. Four more states are finalising their dedicated green hydrogen policies. Haryana, Punjab, Bihar and Kerala are working on the draft policies. Seven States have integrated hydrogen into their existing industrial and renewable energy policy frameworks. These include Himachal Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Odisha, Telangana and Chhattisgarh. Moreover, the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE), directly or through the National Institute of Solar Energy, has signed MoUs, Letters of Intent or Joint Declarations of Intent. The partners are Australia, Finland, France, Germany, Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Uzbekistan. An MoU on renewable energy has been signed with the Netherlands. An IndiaUS Hydrogen Task Force has been formed under the Strategic Clean Energy Partnership. Green hydrogen is a focus area of the IndiaUS New and Emerging Renewable Energy Technology Action Platform (RETAP). The MNRE launched the Green Hydrogen Certification Scheme of India in April 2025. The Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) accredits agencies for monitoring, verification and certification. A dedicated portal went live in June 2026 for transparent certification and compliance. Credible certification will help Indian producers compete with confidence globally. Through these efforts, the government aims to accelerate industrial decarbonisation, strengthen domestic manufacturing and position India as a global hub for green hydrogen production, use and exports. This will contribute to Indias broader vision of Viksit Bharat by 2047 and its commitment to achieving net-zero emissions by 2070.

Chhattisgarh Hockey League: Nyayadhani Knights enter semis; Sanskardhani Strikers secure first win
Digital Desk | Raipur, Oct 27 (IANS) It was another eventful day in Raipur, as Nyayadhani Knights entered the semis by virtue of continuing to be top of the points table, after they played out a 4-4 draw against Chakradhar Champions in the first match; the second witnessed a maiden win for Sanskardhani Strikers, as they got the better of Rajdhani Royals 4-2. Talking about Match No. 10, Yuvraj Walmiki emerged as the hero for the Champions with three goals, while Ketan displayed his best hockey for the Knights. The first quarter was the one where teams just tested the waters and played conservative hockey. Come the second, Ketan and Adarsh opened the scoring for Nyayadhani, when the former beat at least four defenders in his run from the right flank, entering the circle with much ease. He then passed the ball to Adarsh in the last moment, who netted it. The second goal didnt take much time to come; again Ketan entered the circle through the left this time, and Sonu Nishad was the one who came up with the deflection, to take their team to 2-1 at half-time. A similar story started unfolding in the third quarter. Chirag missed, but Ketan found himself right in front of the goal to score his first, bringing their tally to four. Meanwhile, Walmiki scored two via penalty strokes, and the third one was a field goal, after being injected a ball from Sunil just outside the circle. The former went in for a reverse flick that landed in the post. Completing his second hat-trick of the tournament, he looked good for his fourth as well...but Khogeshwar was awarded for a deflection. Strikers finally arrived. After struggling in the first three encounters, the Shamsher-led Strikers struck top form, with two goals each coming from Ashish Tani Purti and Shahrukh. In this battle, both sides had a lot at stake. It was their only chance to stay alive, with neither having managed to secure a win before this encounter. And the pressure showed initially. Both teams had a slow start. Attacks and circle penetrations were hard to come by for them, while the focus was on maintaining possession. Still, Ashish managed to open the scoring through a PC for Strikers. After a bit of a struggle, Royals too came back in the match, just before the half-time hooter, with Raushan scoring on the reverse. It was an excellent run of play as he dodged a few in the circle, found some space on the left, and then executed the shot to draw parity. Rajdhanis defence was largely good, but the slightest of mistakes of leaving Shahrukh unmarked meant he scored from just inside the circle, through a reverse flick. There was no looking back from that moment for Sanskardhani. Ashish converted yet another PC to take his tournament total to 9 goals. Shahrukh again struck, with a minute left in the third quarter, after getting a solid pass right in front of the post from the right flank. It was only a question of increasing the lead now. Nonetheless, Lalit got on the scorers sheet too for Rajdhani, when he got one into the net, on the rebound from a PC. That also marked the end of the proceedings, with Ashish winning the striker of the match award, and Shahrukh clinching the Player of the Match award.

Ranji Trophy: Badoni Slams Second Successive Ton, Saranshs Seven-for Puts MP On Top
JSCA International Stadium: Batting all-rounder Ayush Badoni continued his rich vein of form by hitting a second consecutive hundred, while India off-spinner Saransh Jains seven-wicket haul gave Madhya Pradesh firm control on day one of the third-round Ranji Trophy matches on Monday. Fresh from a career-best 217 against Gujarat, Badoni struck an unbeaten 106 off 122 balls, laced with 11 fours and two sixes, to take Delhi to 309/5 against Jharkhand at the JSCA International Stadium in Ranchi. Badoni, 26, previously hit 205 against the same opponents in the 2024/25 season. A chanceless knock, Badonis sixth first-class hundred, anchored Delhis recovery. He found a reliable ally in all-rounder Sumit Mathur, who was unbeaten on 50, as the pair put together an unbroken 128-run stand for the sixth wicket. Mathur had a lucky escape on 36 when he was caught at long-on, only to be recalled because Anukul Roy had overstepped. At Holkar Stadium in Indore, Saranshs 7-40 helped Madhya Pradesh bowl Bihar out for just 99. The hosts, still looking for their first win of the season after two draws, then reached 261/3 with a lead of 162, after bowling out Bihar for 99.

At the BKC Ground, Mumbai also made a strong start against Haryana at home after being put in to bat first. Angkrish Raghuvanshi made 114 off 180 balls with 13 fours and a six, while Musheer Khan scored 109 off 185 balls with 12 fours and a six. The pair added 208 runs for the second wicket to steer Mumbai to 290/3 at stumps. Defending champions Jammu and Kashmir, also in search of their first win, were frustrated by Priyanshu Moliya at the Reliance Ground in Vadodara. Moliyas patient unbeaten 113 lifted Baroda to 259/6 after they had slipped to 197/6 at one stage. Vidarbha, who have two wins so far, had Goa in trouble at 84/6 after Nachiket Bhute ripped through the top order with four wickets. But Darshan Misal and Yash Kasvankar then struck half-centuries and shared a stand of 104 runs for the seventh wicket to help the visitors reach 204/8. On a rain-hit day, Pondicherry reduced Uttar Pradesh to 67/4. In Mysuru, Karnataka recovered from a sluggish start to bowl Tripura out for 194 at the SDNR Wadiyar Stadium. The hosts, who sprang a surprise by leaving out pacers Vidwath Kaverappa and Abhilash Shetty to accommodate spinners Shikhar Shetty and Ritesh Bhatkal, failed to make use of the new ball as Tripura moved comfortably to 88/2 in the first session. Left-arm spinner Shikhar then claimed his third first-class five-wicket haul, while pacer Manvanth Kumar took three. Karnataka lost Mayank Agarwal early and were 10 for one at stumps. At the DVR Ground in Mulapadu, Chhattisgarhs spinners made full use of a helpful pitch to bowl Andhra out for 231. Veteran off-spinner Jayant Yadav led the way with 4-75, while Ajay Mandal and Dharmendrasinh Jadeja took three and two wickets respectively. In reply, Chhattisgarh lost Ayush Pandey early when he was run out going for an unnecessary quick single. Captain Anuj Tiwary and Mayank Verma then negotiated the final half-hour to take the visitors to 35/1. Wicketkeeper-batter Prabhsimran Singh laid the foundation with 81 off 126 balls, hitting nine fours and a six, while fifties from Salil Arora and Ramandeep Singh then guided Punjab to 289/6 against Hyderabad in Secunderabad. Denish Das made 90 off 165 balls, with 14 fours, to take Assam to 235/6 against Saurashtra in Rajkot. For the hosts, veteran pacer Jaydev Unadkat picked up three wickets, while Ravindra Jadeja and Arth Yadav took one wicket each. In Thiruvananthapuram, where only 50 overs were possible due to rain, Kerala reduced Bengal to 172/6, with Aditya Sarwate taking three wickets and Nedumankuzhy Basil two scalps. Maharashtra bowled out Gujarat for 233 in Pune, with Siddhesh Veer taking four wickets, while Rajvardhan Hangargekar and Vicky Ostwal claimed three apiece. Maharashtra were 24/1 when stumps were called. Services off-spinner Pulkit Narang returned 6-47, his second five-wicket haul of the season, to bowl Odisha out for 194 in Bhubaneswar. The visitors were 13/0 at stumps. Tamil Nadu bowled out Railways for 184 in Chennai, with R Sai Kishore and Sonu Yadav taking three wickets each, but slipped to 71/3 till stumps arrived.

Odisha: Cyclone Arnab to bring widespread rain; govt steps up preparedness
Digital Desk | Bhubaneswar, Oct 26 (IANS) Odisha government is on its toes as the state braces for heavy rainfall accompanied by strong winds due to the impending cyclonic storm Arnab, which is likely to hit the Andhra Pradesh coast on October 28. Speaking to media persons, Revenue and Disaster Management Minister Suresh Pujari said that all 30 districts of Odisha will experience widespread rainfall, with heavy to very heavy rain in some places. According to the India Meteorological Department, the system, which has been intensified into a cyclone, has been moving at 15 km/h and will intensify, generating wind speeds between 120 km/h and 150 km/h near Visakhapatnam before recurving southwestward. Malkangiri is projected to be the first district in Odisha hit, while heavy downpours are forecast across undivided Koraput, undivided Ganjam, Sundargarh, Jharsuguda, Kalahandi, Kandhamal, Puri, and Nayagada. The Minister said that rainfall will commence on Sunday, with heavy downpours expected on October 27 and 28, intensifying to heavy or very heavy rainfall by Monday night. He added that following the system's landfall on October 28, strong winds and rain would persist through October 29. He further stated that with wind speeds expected to reach 4050 km/h in some districts of the state, district administrations have been instructed to dismantle temporary installations wherever necessary. Large hoardings/boards have been ordered to be taken down to prevent injury or damage to people if they fall due to the wind. Instructions have also been given to dismantle all festival pandals (medhas) and stages wherever they have been erected. The minister said that Odisha is coordinating closely with Chhattisgarh and Jharkhand regarding upstream rainfall into the Mahanadi, Brahmani, Baitarani, and Budhabalanga systems. Pre-positioning of ODRAF, NDRF, and Fire Services personnel is complete. As many as eight NDRF teams have been deployed alongside 40 ODRAF teams on the ground, with additional units placed on standby in Koraput and Ganjam to deal with the impacts of the cyclonic storm. Senior IAS officers have been stationed in different districts, alongside experienced ministers overseeing eight vulnerable districts.

Adani Group refutes social media claims over alleged tree felling near Bhimashankar Temple
Digital Desk | Ahmedabad, Oct 25 (IANS) The Adani Group has refuted social media claims linking the Group to alleged tree felling near the Bhimashankar Temple in Maharashtra's Pune district, calling them false and misleading as they have no project in the area. In a statement posted on X, a company spokesperson said the videos circulating on social media linking Adani Group to alleged tree felling and displacement near the Bhimashankar Temple are false, misleading and fabricated. The group has no project, proposed or ongoing, in the area or its vicinity, and is in no way associated with the activities depicted in the circulating videos, according to an Adani Group spokesperson. We strongly urge everyone to verify facts and refrain from sharing false and unverified content, the spokesperson added. The Adani Group statement came in response to misleading social media posts. Meanwhile, Adani Enterprises Ltd (AEL) has planted more than 1.6 million trees and saplings across 568 hectares at the Parsa East and Kanta Basan (PEKB) mine in Chhattisgarh's Surguja district, transforming the area into a green landscape. Once an active mining site, the area has now been transformed into a lush green landscape. Under the ecological restoration, 40 trees are planted for every tree removed for mining activities. Native species, including Sal, Mahua, Tendu, Amaltas and Sidha have been replanted, with the company reporting a survival rate of about 88 per cent. AEL operates the mine as developer and operator for Rajasthan Rajya Vidyut Utpadan Nigam Ltd (RVUNL). According to officials, its greening project has demonstrated how mined land can be restored after coal extraction. It aims to increase the green cover to more than 4 million trees by the end of the decade. The Adani Group has also developed a 3.5-hectare nursery, housing about 5,00,000 saplings and achieved successful regeneration of Sal forests in the area. According to officials, it has undertaken compensatory afforestation across more than 4,000 hectares in the Surguja, Korea, Balrampur and Surajpur forest divisions, while over Rs 259 crore has been deposited with the Chhattisgarh government towards afforestation, wildlife management and other environmental measures.
Railways yet to clarify alcohol testing norms a year after Bilaspur crash
The Railway Board is yet to decide whether a loco pilot is fit to operate a train if a certain amount of alcohol is detected in their blood, given the current policy requiring zero alcohol presence, a senior official has told PTI, asserting that a decision in this regard should be taken at the earliest.

The proceedings were witnessed by the Deputy Chief Minister of the state, Shri Arun Sao, which only motivated the players to deliver their best at the state-of-the-art Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Hockey Stadium, Raipur. The match started with seasoned Indian player SV Sunils brilliance. When chances weren't coming for Chakradhar, all he needed was a pass from the midfield. From there, he sent down a precise pass to Yuvraj Walmiki in the circle, who attempted a shot and scored on the rebound. Just a minute later, CC created another opportunity that resulted in a goal. Arjun Yadav managed to steal the ball from the Strikers defender just outside the circle and passed it in front of the goalpost. Kartik Yadav was ready with a big dive to swell the lead to 2-0. It did not take long in the 2nd quarter for the Champions to come up with their third goal. This time, it was a PC conversion, a rare combination where the ball was directed towards Sunil by the drag-flicker, and then to Walmiki, who just guided the ball into the post. But despite the setbacks, Strikers did pull one back in the quarter when Shahrukh sounded the board on the rebound. Vaibhav Singh Chandel could not stop the bullet strike from inside the circle. Things further went downhill for the Strikers when keeper Aditya Kumar Netam went for a tackle against Kartik. As a result, Walmiki received a penalty stroke and struck another goal. The third quarter was a complete turnaround for Sanskardhani Strikers, where they produced two more goals. The first was a field goal by Shahrukh, while the other came in the form of a late penalty stroke by Shamsher, bringing the score to 4-3. Come the fourth, CC came all guns blazing, and Manish scored through a fine deflection in the circle. That goal, in a way, ended all hopes for the Strikers. Another PC meant another scoring opportunity for Sunils team; the goal did come, albeit on the rebound by Walmiki, who went on to score his third of the night. Shamsher concluded the proceedings with a field goal, with the score reading 6-4. Shahrukh won the striker of the match award, while Walmiki won the player of the match. Mainpat Titans, Bailadila Bulls play out close 3-3 draw Earlier in the day, Mainpat Titans and Bailadila Bulls played out a closely fought 3-3 draw. It was Pradeep Mors Titans who dominated the proceedings in the first two quarters, while Chinglensana Singhs Bulls were the better side in the last two. Titans led by two goals until halftime, but Jaskaran Singh and Rahul Yadav brought their team back when no one expected them to. The match was so evenly poised that both the sides managed to score twice in the dying minutes of the match. For his excellent play, Prahalad was awarded the striker of the match, while Karan Dhanuk won the player of the match.

Lalit Upadhyay-led Rajdhani Royals take on Nyayadhani Knights in Chhattisgarh Hockey League opener
Digital Desk | Raipur, Oct 22 (IANS) Olympian Lalit Upadhyay-led Rajdhani Royals will take on Nyayadhani Knights, led by Olympic medallist Surender Kumar, in the inaugural Chhattisgarh Hockey League (CHL) on Thursday. A women's exhibition match opens the day's play, putting women's hockey on the CHL stage from the start. The CHL is organised by the Department of Sports and Youth Welfare, Government of Chhattisgarh, and sanctioned by Hockey India. It is the first hockey league in the country run by a state government. The season runs until the final on 1 November under the tagline Chalo Re Sangi, Hockey Khelbo. The league starts during one of Indian hockey's best seasons in decades. At the Asian Games in Aichi-Nagoya earlier this month, both the men's and women's teams won gold, the first time India has won both titles at the same Games. The women beat China 10 for their first Asian Games gold since 1982. The men beat Malaysia 51 to keep their title. Both teams have now qualified directly for the Los Angeles 2028 Olympics. The men's team also won Olympic bronze at Tokyo 2020 and Paris 2024. I proudly recall that exactly 25 years ago on this very day, the Indian Junior Hockey Team won the World Cup; notably, a distinguished member of that golden, victorious squad, Devesh Chauhan, is serving as the head coach for the Chhattisgarh team in this tournament. This competition would prove to be a milestone in establishing hockey at an excellent, professional level within the state. Chhattisgarh has gifted the nation with legendary hockey players such as Vincent Lakra, Mrinal Chaubey, Renuka Yadav, and Saba Anjum and this league will ensure that many such names will be established through this league in the future, said Arun Sao, Deputy Chief Minister, Chhattisgarh. The CHL follows the Khelo India approach of wider participation and building excellence from the ground up. Earlier this year, Chhattisgarh hosted the first Khelo India Tribal Games, where hockey was a medal sport. Under Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai, the state aims to become a sporting state. The league gives Chhattisgarh's players a structured, competitive route to state, national and international hockey. Each franchise is led by an Olympian marquee player who will play alongside Chhattisgarh's young players; Lalit Kumar Upadhyay (Rajdhani Royals), Surender Kumar (Nyayadhani Knights), Shamsher Singh (Sanskardhani Strikers), SV Sunil (Chakradhar Champions), Pradeep Mor (Mainpat Titans) and Chinglensana Singh Kangujam (Bailadila Bulls). Each 22-member squad was picked from 132 players chosen through open trials. All six assistant head coaches are from Chhattisgarh, which builds coaching depth in the state. The league builds on a strong hockey heritage. Bilaspur-born Leslie Claudius won three Olympic golds and a silver and captained India at the 1960 Rome Olympics. Renuka Yadav of Rajnandgaon, a district long called the hockey nursery of India, became Chhattisgarh's first woman Olympian at Rio 2016.
