Prime Minister Modi while addressing the nation on 75th Independence Day also announced the setting up of the National Hydrogen Mission.

This will not only help India to make a new progress in the field of energy self-reliance but will also become a new inspiration for Clean Energy Transition all over the world,” he said.
The big plans of entering into the clean energy areas were announced during the AGM of RIL this year, While speaking at the annual general meeting Reliance Industries CEO, Mukesh Ambani, unveiled the big plans of the company to enter in a cleaner energy space, “Green hydrogen will be a unique energy vector that can enable decarbonisation of many sectors such as transportation and power industry,” he said.
“One of the methods of generating green hydrogen is electrolysis of pure water. This brings me to the third initiative of the electrolyser for the giga factory. They can be used for captive production of green hydrogen for domestic use as well as for global sale,” Ambani said. The reason RIL is going big on green hydrogen is because hydrogen is not at all detrimental to the environment. To grapple with the climate crisis, this big initiative of the RIL is seen as a game changer and disruptive.
