“Gujarat has consistently led India’s clean energy transition, and this MoU marks another milestone in that journey,” said Dr Faruk G. Patel, Founding Promoter of KP Group. “Through this collaboration, we aim to build a robust, future-ready refuelling ecosystem for hydrogen and electric vehicles. This initiative will empower industries, public transport, and private users to confidently adopt cleaner fuels while reinforcing Gujarat’s leadership in sustainable infrastructure development.”

The project aligns with Gujarat’s broader vision of promoting green mobility, renewable energy adoption, and carbon reduction, further positioning the state as a national frontrunner in sustainable energy innovation.
