Gujarat Deputy CM's Japan visit targets green energy and carbon credit partnerships

Gujarat Deputy Chief Minister Harsh Sanghavi held investment talks in Japan ahead of the Vibrant Gujarat Global Summit 2027. Meetings with Itochu covered green energy and global trade, while a session with Green Carbon is set to explore carbon credit partnerships. Other targets include chemicals, life sciences, textiles, and electronic materials with companies like Kaneka, Fujifilm, and Yazaki. The state is also using the trip to build ties with Shizuoka prefecture and pitch its textile policy to Japanese investors. For carbon market watchers, the notable part is whether the Green Carbon and Itochu talks move beyond memorandums into concrete projects. Gujarat already has a large renewable base, so there is room to turn these conversations into real low-carbon investments, but the release does not yet specify capacity, technology, or timelines.
