The National Green Hydrogen Mission in India is making significant strides towards sustainable transportation by introducing green hydrogen buses on the Bhubaneswar-Konark-Puri route in Odisha. This initiative is part of five pilot projects sanctioned by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE), which will involve the deployment of a total of 37 vehicles, including buses and trucks, as well as the establishment of nine hydrogen refueling stations across various routes in the country. These vehicles will include 15 that run on hydrogen fuel cells and 22 others based on hydrogen internal combustion engines. Apart from Odisha, these projects will cover routes in different parts of India, aiming to pave the way for the widespread adoption of hydrogen-based technologies. Major companies like TATA Motors, NTPC, and Ashok Leyland are at the forefront of these projects, which will receive a total financial support of around Rs 208 crore. The transition to eco-friendly hydrogen-powered buses in Odisha is set to receive an investment of Rs 19.5 crore by the Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI), with collaborations in place among key stakeholders for smooth implementation. The ultimate goal of these pilot projects is to assess the effectiveness, feasibility, and economic viability of hydrogen-based vehicles and refueling stations, with the aim of reducing the country's dependence on fossil fuel imports. With the projects expected to be operational within the next 18-24 months, India is taking significant steps towards a more sustainable and environmentally friendly transportation system.
