Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Sukhvinder Sukhu has requested the Ministry of Railways to explore converting the Kalka-Shimla UNESCO World Heritage train to run on green hydrogen. The state aims to achieve green energy status by 2026 through a strategic shift towards renewable sources. Emphasizing the significance of this transition, Sukhu outlined a six-pronged strategy focused on sustainability. Himachal Pradesh is on a path to replace thermal power consumption with hydro, solar, and wind power, with a goal of 90% renewable energy consumption. This shift will not only benefit the environment but also boost the state's economy. The government is promoting solar power generation, aiming to establish a capacity of 2,000 MW in the coming years. Additionally, the 'Green Panchayat' scheme is underway to set up solar power plants at the panchayat level. The state is also actively pursuing the production of green hydrogen, with ongoing discussions for more facilities. The transition to electric vehicles is a key focus, with plans to replace buses and government fleet vehicles. The state is creating green corridors for EVs and encouraging youth to participate in the green movement through incentives like the Rajiv Gandhi Startup Yojana.
