The Indian government has launched the National Green Hydrogen Mission, encompassing five pilot projects to introduce hydrogen in buses and trucks. These projects, part of the National Green Hydrogen Mission, are a significant step towards incorporating green energy in the transport sector in India. The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy issued guidelines for the implementation of these pilot projects, leading to the approval of proposals for hydrogen-based vehicles and refueling stations. The projects, totaling 37 vehicles and 9 hydrogen refueling stations, will be executed by major companies such as TATA Motors Ltd, Reliance Industries Limited, and NTPC, among others. The vehicles, including hydrogen fuel-cell-based and hydrogen internal combustion engine-based ones, will operate on 10 different routes across the country. With a total financial support of around Rs. 208 Crore provided by the government, these projects are expected to be operational within the next 18-24 months. The main goal of these pilot projects is to assess the feasibility, performance, and economic viability of hydrogen-based vehicles and refueling stations under real-world conditions, aiming to scale up this technology in India's transport sector. The National Green Hydrogen Mission, launched on January 4, 2023, with a budget of Rs 19,744 crores up to 2029-30, highlights India's commitment to clean energy and self-reliance, positioning the country as a pioneer in the global Clean Energy Transition.
