India has set an ambitious target of achieving 500 gigawatts of renewable energy capacities by 2030-31. In line with this goal, the country is also focusing on developing affordable storage solutions and implementing the National Green Hydrogen Mission. The National Green Hydrogen Mission aims to produce 5 million tonnes of green hydrogen annually by the target year. Additionally, the government has launched the PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana, which seeks to provide 300 units of free electricity every month to 10 million households. Prahlad Joshi, the Minister of Coal, Mines, and Parliamentary Affairs, faces the significant challenge of promoting the adoption of green fuels, particularly green hydrogen, as part of India's energy transition strategy. This initiative reflects India's commitment to sustainable and eco-friendly energy sources to meet its growing energy demands.
