The Indian Army is leading the green revolution by taking significant steps to combat climate change through various environmentally sustainable initiatives. One of the key focuses is solid waste management, where the army is actively working towards becoming landfill-free by March 2027. This initiative includes segregation of waste at the source, promoting recycling and composting, and adopting eco-friendly disposal methods, aligning with the Solid Waste Management Rules 2016. Additionally, the army is aggressively transitioning from diesel-fueled vehicles to electric alternatives to reduce emissions, noise pollution, and reliance on fossil fuels. By the end of 2025, a substantial number of electric buses, cars, and motorcycles will be introduced across different military stations and establishments, showcasing a significant commitment to sustainability. Furthermore, the construction of the new Thal Sena Bhawan exemplifies the army's dedication to sustainable infrastructure, incorporating energy efficiency, water conservation, and waste management practices. Notably, the exploration of hydrogen fuel cell technology marks a crucial step in reducing carbon emissions and fossil fuel dependence. Collaborations with NTPC Renewable Energy Limited and IOCL have paved the way for green hydrogen-based microgrid power plants and hydrogen fuel cell buses, highlighting the army's innovative approach towards sustainable energy solutions.
