The National Green Hydrogen Mission in India was officially launched on January 4, 2023, with a significant outlay of Rs 19,744 crores allocated until 2029-30. The mission aims to promote the use of green hydrogen as a clean energy source, in alignment with India's goal to become self-reliant in clean energy and contribute to the global Clean Energy Transition. As part of this mission, the government has initiated five pilot projects for utilizing hydrogen in buses and trucks. The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy has sanctioned a total of 37 vehicles (buses and trucks) and 9 hydrogen refueling stations for these pilot projects. These projects involve major companies such as TATA Motors Ltd, Reliance Industries Limited, and NTPC. The total financial support provided by the Government of India for these projects is around Rs. 208 Crore. These pilot projects are expected to be commissioned within the next 18-24 months, aiming to pave the way for the widespread adoption of hydrogen-based technologies in India. The objective of these pilot projects is to demonstrate the safe and effective operation of hydrogen-based vehicles and refueling stations, assess their technical feasibility and performance, validate their economic viability, and enable real-world testing of these technologies. Through these initiatives, India is striving to develop commercially viable technologies for utilizing hydrogen in the transport sector, specifically in buses and trucks, along with supporting infrastructure like hydrogen refueling stations.
