A joint venture between Assam and Gujarat will see a ₹2,300‑crore e‑methanol facility constructed at Kandla, marking a major step in India's green fuel push.
The governments of Assam and Gujarat have agreed to collaborate on a large‑scale e‑methanol project at Kandla in Gujarat. The venture, valued at roughly ₹2,300 crore, aims to set up a production unit that will convert renewable electricity into methanol, a clean‑burning fuel alternative.
Officials described the plant as a strategic move to leverage Assam's abundant renewable energy resources and Gujarat's established industrial infrastructure. By integrating green power generation with chemical manufacturing, the project seeks to reduce dependence on imported fossil fuels and lower carbon emissions.
While detailed timelines have not been disclosed, the partnership signals a growing emphasis on sustainable industrial development across the two states. The plant is expected to create jobs and stimulate ancillary industries in the Kandla region, further strengthening Gujarat's position as a hub for emerging clean‑energy technologies.
