The Chief Minister of Himachal Pradesh, Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu, has urged the Union Ministry of Railways to explore the possibility of running the Kalka-Shimla UNESCO World Heritage train on green hydrogen. This initiative aligns with the state's ambitious goal of becoming a green energy state by March 31, 2026. The government is focused on a six-pronged strategy to transform Himachal into a certified Green Energy State, significantly contributing to India's climate commitments. By replacing 90% of its thermal power consumption with renewable sources like hydro, solar, and wind power, Himachal Pradesh aims to achieve this status. The state is also actively promoting solar power generation, with plans to establish a capacity of 2,000 MW in the next few years. Additionally, initiatives like the 'Green Panchayat' scheme, which involves setting up grid-connected solar power plants at the panchayat level, demonstrate Himachal's commitment to sustainable development. The state is also making strides in the production of 'Green Hydrogen,' with the first facility in collaboration with Oil India Limited already in progress. Furthermore, the government is focusing on promoting electric vehicles by replacing a significant portion of the State Transport Corporation's buses with electric ones and developing green corridors for EVs on major highways. These efforts collectively showcase Himachal Pradesh's proactive approach towards a clean, sustainable, and green future.
