The Adani Group and TotalEnergies of France have formed a collaboration to jointly build the green hydrogen ecosystem with a $50 billion investment over the next ten years, the two firms announced in a joint statement.

TotalEnergies would be a minority shareholder in the joint venture, Adani New Industries Ltd (ANIL), with a 25% ownership.

Before 2030, ANIL will create a green hydrogen capacity of one million tonnes per year in the first phase. Adani's efforts are critical in India's shift away from coal power, which accounts for more than 70% of the country's electricity.

Gautam Adani has risen to the top of Asia's wealthiest people thanks to a persistent climb in the shares of Adani group firms.
