On July 23, 2026, Galgotias University in Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh, welcomed a high‑level delegation from Japan comprising government officials, industry leaders and academic experts, together with representatives of the Indian and Uttar Pradesh governments. The discussions centred on joint research and technology exchange in three sustainability‑focused areas: green hydrogen, electric vehicles and semiconductors, while also keeping open the possibility of collaboration across broader disciplines.
University CEO Dr. Dhruv Galgotia said the visit underscored Greater Noida’s emerging role as an academic, industrial and transportation hub and that the university intends to convert the talks into joint research projects, exchange programmes and industry partnerships that students and faculty can directly participate in.
The university currently serves more than 50,000 learners and maintains a global alumni network exceeding 100,000 graduates. In the QS World University Rankings 2027, Galgotias placed in the 1201‑1400 global band, ranking 16th among private universities and 46th overall in India. In the Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2026, it fell in the 1201‑1500 global band, ranking 27th among private universities and 65th overall in India.

The visit aligns with the broader deepening of India‑Japan strategic ties and the specific cooperation between Uttar Pradesh and Japan in clean‑energy and advanced‑manufacturing, positioning the state as a hub for green‑hydrogen, EV component and semiconductor investment. Follow‑up discussions are planned in the coming weeks to translate the initial conversations into concrete research programmes, faculty and student exchanges, and university‑industry collaborations in sustainable technologies.
