The Indian government has launched five pilot projects as part of the National Green Hydrogen Mission to trial hydrogen fuel-based vehicles in the country. These projects will involve deploying 37 vehicles, including buses and trucks, on 10 different routes. Major companies such as TATA Motors Ltd, Reliance Industries Limited, and others have been selected to participate in these projects. The initiative also includes establishing 9 hydrogen refuelling stations with a total financial support of around Rs 208 crore from the government. The aim is to pave the way for the adoption of hydrogen technology in India over the next 18-24 months. The National Green Hydrogen Mission, launched in 2023 with a substantial budget, is focused on driving decarbonisation, reducing dependence on fossil fuel imports, and positioning India as a global leader in green hydrogen technology.
