On 27 December 2025 Himachal Pradesh launched an industrial hemp policy that limits THC to below 0.3 per cent and plans a pilot for fibre and seed. The cabinet had approved controlled cannabis cultivation for industrial, scientific and medicinal use in January 2025, after a committee studied Uttarakhand and Madhya Pradesh. The policy is for licensed non-intoxicating hemp, and the state projected ₹1,000–2,000 crore in annual revenue at full scale.[1]
