The Uttar Pradesh (UP) government has earmarked an incentive and financial support package of Rs 5,000 crore to catalyse the production of green hydrogen for industrial, petrochemical, and transportation sectors.
In its UP Green Hydrogen Policy 2024, the state is aiming to produce 1 million tonne (mt) of green hydrogen annually, which would create about 120,000 job opportunities by 2028.
The policy, recently approved by the Yogi Adityanath Cabinet, will support startups dedicated to green hydrogen research and production.
