This achievement was recorded during the second Test against the West Indies at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, New Delhi, on 10 October 2025.

To accelerate India’s clean energy transformation, the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) has designated three major ports—Deendayal Port (Gujarat), V.O. Chidambaranar Port (Tamil Nadu), and Paradip Port (Odisha)—as Green Hydrogen Hubs.
This initiative falls under the National Green Hydrogen Mission and is aimed at developing integrated hubs for the production, storage, transport, and utilization of green hydrogen.
These hubs will serve key industries such as shipping, refining, fertilizers, and logistics, aligning with India’s net-zero emissions goal by 2070.

Launched in 2021, the app operates as a crowdsourcing platform for identifying and addressing barriers in public spaces, transport systems, and digital infrastructure, promoting a more inclusive and accessible India.
