Himachal Pradesh's Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu has highlighted the state's push towards green energy initiatives and sustainability. The government has urged the Union Ministry of Railways to explore converting the Kalka-Shimla UNESCO World Heritage train to operate on green hydrogen, aligning with the state's goal to become a green energy state by March 31, 2026. The strategic plan involves a six-pronged approach to establish Himachal Pradesh as a certified Green Energy State, in line with India's climate commitments. The state aims to replace its current thermal power consumption with renewable sources like hydro, solar, and wind power. By achieving 90% renewable energy consumption, the state can be recognized as a fully green state, allowing industries to apply for the 'Eco Mark' and enhancing product value.
