Hyderabad: Telangana Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka announced on Friday that the state government is working to establish green hydrogen manufacturing hubs and aims to add 20,000 megawatts (MW) of renewable energy capacity by 2030.
Speaking at the Australia-India Critical Minerals Research Hub Workshop hosted by IIT Hyderabad, Vikramarka reaffirmed Telangana’s commitment to leading the way in renewable energy, sustainable technologies, and scientific innovation.
“Our Clean and Green Energy Policy has set ambitious goals—20,000 MW of renewable energy by 2030,” he said. “We are prioritizing Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) to tackle intermittency and promote green hydrogen technologies as the fuel of the future.”
The Deputy Chief Minister stressed that these targets depend on having a stable, sustainable, and ethical supply of critical minerals.
“Critical minerals are more than just industrial raw materials—they are the foundation of the green economy,” he said. “From solar panels and wind turbines to electric vehicles and energy storage batteries, critical minerals power them all.”
He highlighted the importance of collaborative efforts like the Australia-India Critical Minerals Research Hub, describing them as essential not only for Telangana and India but also for global progress.
Vikramarka also pointed out Telangana’s efforts to embrace sustainable energy solutions.
“We’ve invested in floating solar plants, smart grids, and energy storage technologies,” he said. “Waste-to-energy projects are being prioritized to ensure no resource is wasted, and we’re laying the foundation for green hydrogen manufacturing hubs.”
The Deputy Chief Minister emphasized that Telangana’s energy policy promotes science-backed, research-driven strategies.
“In Telangana, we believe true progress comes from bottom-up collaboration, not top-down directives. Achieving our goals requires the involvement of academia, industry, and local communities,” he noted.
He praised the partnership between IIT Hyderabad and Monash University under the Australia-India Critical Minerals Research Hub as an example of how academia can unite to address global challenges.
