Himachal Sets Up North India’s First Green Hydrogen Plant

Himachal Pradesh has launched North India’s first green hydrogen plant at Dabhota, Nalagarh, as part of its mission to become India’s first green state by March 2026. Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu laid the foundation for the 1 MW plant, developed by Himachal Pradesh Power Corporation and Oil India at a cost of Rs 90 million. Spanning 4,000 sq m, the plant will produce 423 kg of green hydrogen daily via electrolysis powered by renewable energy. This initiative aligns with the state’s 500 MW solar energy target, reducing carbon emissions.
