Assam to get India’s second green hydrogen plant; Rs 7,000 crore investment

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma announced that India’s second green hydrogen project will be established in Namaligarh, Golaghat district. 

Addressing the media, the CM said the project marks a major milestone for the state’s industrial and clean energy initiatives.

“Currently, most vehicles run on oil or ethanol, but hydrogen is emerging as a clean alternative fuel, produced from water,” Sarma said. 

“This significant project will make Namaligarh home to India’s second hydrogen plant. Groundwork has already begun, with tenders and other formalities completed.”

These initiatives are expected to boost industrial growth, create employment opportunities, and position Assam as a hub for clean energy production in the northeast.
