Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has proposed an allocation of ₹535 crore for India's National Green Hydrogen Mission in the Union Budget for 2025-26. Launched in January 2023, the mission aims to accelerate the adoption of green energy in India and reduce dependency on fossil fuels. The mission, part of the government's commitment to developing alternative and renewable energy sources, has an initial budget of ₹19,744 crore until 2029-30. Objectives include promoting self-reliance through clean energy, contributing to the global clean energy transition, and establishing India as a leader in Green Hydrogen technologies. A key aspect of the mission is the implementation of pilot projects in the steel sector to replace fossil fuels with green hydrogen. These projects, with a budget of ₹455 crore until 2029-30, are crucial for India's vision of a greener and more sustainable future.
