Abhijeet Sinha, Project Director of National Highways for Electric Vehicles, revealed plans to set up 'green fuel charging stations' with hydrogen dispensing capabilities along a 5,500 km stretch covering 28 cities, including Visakhapatnam. These stations, as part of the Bharatmala and Sagarmala projects, align with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's goal of achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2030. The project, estimated at ₹5,500 crore, aims to convert National Highways and Expressways into 23 e-Highways nationwide. These stations, funded by the Government of India, will operate under a PPP model and feature hydrogen vending capabilities. The charging infrastructure will support EV cars, buses, two-wheelers, and three-wheelers with 3,200 kw capacity, generating power from solar, wind, and hydrogen sources. The surplus power will be stored as liquid hydrogen. The collaboration between NHEV and Lotus Wireless Technologies aims to enable fast charging of heavy vehicles like trucks and buses. Indian prototypes developed by LWT are proving to be cost-effective compared to Germany's e-highway project, with a target completion date of 2027, three years ahead of schedule.
