Union Minister Manohar Lal flagged off a fleet of green hydrogen buses in Leh, part of NTPC's initiatives in adopting hydrogen technologies. The project includes a solar plant, a hydrogen filling station, and 5 intra-city buses, operating at high altitude. The Minister commended NTPC's efforts in energy security and decarbonisation through green hydrogen adoption. The station is expected to reduce carbon emissions and contribute oxygen to the atmosphere, equivalent to planting thousands of trees. The project leverages Ladakh's solar potential and low temperatures for efficient green hydrogen production. NTPC is actively supporting India's aim of achieving Net Zero by 2070, with plans for more hydrogen projects and RE capacity scaling across the country, including a hydrogen hub in Andhra Pradesh.
