Union Power Minister Manohar Lal Khattar inaugurated India's first Green Hydrogen Mobility Project in Leh, India. The project by NTPC includes a hydrogen-fuelling station, a 1.7 MW solar plant, and five fuel cell buses operating at 11,562 feet. The launch marked India's first hydrogen bus deployment on public roads. NTPC aims to achieve 60 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2032 and lead in green hydrogen and energy storage technologies. The project, located at an altitude of 3,650 meters, is designed to operate in low air density and sub-zero temperatures. Each bus can cover 300 km per single filling of hydrogen, with the station able to mitigate approximately 350 MT of carbon emissions annually and contribute 230 MT of pure oxygen into the atmosphere, equivalent to planting about 13,000 trees. NTPC plans to expand hydrogen mobility projects across India and increase renewable energy capacity. The Union minister also visited a waste-to-art sculptures site in Leh, showcasing a holistic approach towards sustainability.
