Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has proposed an allocation of ₹535 crore for the National Green Hydrogen Mission in India's Union Budget for 2025-26. The mission, launched on January 4, 2023, aims to accelerate the adoption of green energy, reduce dependence on fossil fuels, and promote clean energy initiatives. With an initial allocation of ₹19,744 crore spanning until the 2029-30 financial year, the mission seeks to drive India towards self-reliance through clean energy solutions. One key aspect involves implementing pilot projects in the steel sector to transition from fossil fuels to green hydrogen. The projects, supported by a total budgetary outlay of ₹455 crore, are expected to contribute to India's vision of a greener and more sustainable future. By reducing reliance on fossil fuel imports and establishing leadership in green hydrogen technologies, the National Green Hydrogen Mission aligns with India's goal of promoting clean energy and fostering a cleaner, more sustainable economy.
