GIFT City teams up with IGX and GSPC for global hydrogen trading

In this new initiative, GSPC was set to collaborate with IGX to devise a mechanism for creating a hydrogen index, with the intention of attracting global institutions for trading at GIFT IFSC.

The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for this strategic partnership was disclosed to have been signed on Friday, in the presence of Gujarat's Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel. This signing ceremony was indicative of the government's strong commitment to sustainable energy initiatives. Notable personalities, including Rajesh K Mediratta, CEO-IGX, Sandip Shah, Head ?
