Secretary of Transport, Amit Sharma, visited and inspected the nation's first green hydrogen mobility project in Ladakh, situated in the Palam area of Leh. Sharma, along with officials from the UT and NTPC, reviewed the progress of the project and set deadlines for its completion. The project involves the production of green hydrogen and the deployment of five hydrogen cell fuel buses in Ladakh, with a dispensing unit in the area. The head engineer of NTPC Ladakh briefed Sharma on the innovative design of the project, emphasizing its role in advancing Ladakh as the first carbon-neutral region in the country. Sharma directed the initiation of bottling medical oxygen extracted as a byproduct from the hydrogen production process to address the low oxygen levels in Ladakh due to its high altitude. This move is intended as a goodwill gesture towards tourists and visitors. The collaborative effort between NTPC Ladakh, local authorities, and the administration underscores a strong commitment to sustainable energy initiatives, marking a significant step towards a greener future for Ladakh.
