Union minister R K Singh says if required, more funds can be given for transport sector under green hydrogen mission
Union Minister R K Singh on Thursday assured stakeholders that if required, additional funds will be allocated under the National Green Hydrogen Mission for the decarbonisation of the transport sector.
Chairing a meeting of government and industry stakeholders from the transport sector in the national capital, he emphasised the government’s commitment to energy transition and India’s Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) commitment to reduce emissions intensity.
The minister said that, if necessary, the government would be ready to allocate additional funds beyond the already earmarked ₹ 496 crore for the transport sector under the National Green Hydrogen Mission, according to an official statement.
There should be a concerted series of trials for identifying the potential of green hydrogen in the transport sector so that a national roadmap for the decarbonisation of the sector through use of green hydrogen can be formulated, he said.
