Great initiative, but I hope this translates into affordable technology for the common man. We need electric vehicles and hydrogen solutions that are within reach of middle-class families, not just big industries.

Goa is a perfect place for this. Showcasing clean energy in a tourist state sends a strong message. Hope they also focus on making hydrogen production green using solar and wind power from the start.

While the ambition is good, we must be careful. The "hydrogen" being pushed often comes from fossil fuels (grey/blue hydrogen). The focus must be 100% on green hydrogen from renewables. Otherwise, it's just greenwashing.
