Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Sukhvinder Sukhu has urged the Ministry of Railways to explore the conversion of the Kalka-Shimla UNESCO World Heritage train to run on green hydrogen. This initiative is part of the state government's goal to transform Himachal Pradesh into a green energy state by March 31, 2026. The government is on track to replace 90% of its thermal power consumption with renewable sources like hydro, solar, and wind power. By achieving 90% renewable energy consumption in the power distribution network, the state aims to be certified as a fully green state. Furthermore, initiatives like the 'Green Panchayat' scheme, solar power generation, and the production of green hydrogen are contributing to the state's sustainable energy transition. The government is also focusing on promoting electric vehicles by replacing buses with electric ones, transitioning its fleet to electric, and providing grants to unemployed youth for purchasing EV taxis and buses. The overall aim is to align with India's climate commitments and boost the state's economy through green initiatives.
