Bhopal: Morena is poised to become a centre of industrial and green energy development with the groundbreaking ritual of a hydrogen production unit in Piparseva, CM Mohan Yadav said on Sunday.
He described the project as the start of "a new industrial revolution, a new energy revolution and a new Madhya Pradesh". "This unit, being set up in Morena will symbolise growth for the Gwalior-Chambal region," Yadav said, adding, "Chambal's land is not only fertile and productive but also sustainable."
"Morena, once known for its ravines, is now emerging as a symbol of development and progress. It is no longer just an agriculture-based district but is emerging as an industrial hub. Morena's famous ‘Gajak' is trending globally, and even the design of India's old Parliament building was inspired by Morena's Mitawali temple," the CM said.
Yadav was addressing a gathering after "bhoomi pujan" of GH2 Solar Limited's plan in Piparseva.
The CM informed that leading companies from South Korea and the United Kingdom were providing technical support for the hydrogen unit being set up in Morena.
Spread across seven acres, the project will produce green hydrogen and integrate India with cutting-edge technologies like hydrogen and battery energy storage.
It is expected to provide direct jobs to 500 youth, along with numerous indirect employment avenues.
He said PM Narendra Modi was leading the fight for "Swadeshi" to empower farmers, the poor and small entrepreneurs, and the "MP is fully committed to supporting him".
Besides, the CM said land has been allotted to 220 industrial units in the region, involving investments of Rs 12,500 crore and generating employment for over 21,000 since April 2024. "The govt is developing a series of industrial areas and parks in the Gwalior-Chambal region."
Yadav reaffirmed his govt's commitment to ensuring fair prices for farmers' produce and promoting agro-based industries in the state.
