India's National Green Hydrogen Mission: Pilot Projects for Hydrogen Fuel-Based Vehicles Launched
Key Ideas
- The Indian government has launched five pilot projects under the National Green Hydrogen Mission to deploy 37 hydrogen-fueled vehicles like buses and trucks across the country.
- Major companies like TATA Motors, Reliance Industries, and NTPC are involved in these projects aimed at creating commercially viable hydrogen technology for the transport sector.
- The projects include 9 hydrogen refuelling stations and a total financial support of around Rs 208 crore from the Centre, with an expected completion timeline of 18-24 months.
- The National Green Hydrogen Mission, with an outlay of Rs 19,744 crore up to FY2029-30, aims to make India self-reliant in clean energy, reducing carbon emissions, fossil fuel dependence, and leading in green hydrogen technology.
The Indian government has initiated the National Green Hydrogen Mission, launching five pilot projects to deploy hydrogen fuel-based vehicles for trial runs. A total of 37 hydrogen-fueled vehicles, including buses and trucks, will be tested on 10 different routes across the country. These projects involve major companies such as TATA Motors, Reliance Industries, and NTPC, indicating a significant step towards creating commercially viable hydrogen technology for the transport sector. The plan includes 9 hydrogen refuelling stations and a financial support of around Rs 208 crore from the Centre. The projects are expected to be completed within 18-24 months. The National Green Hydrogen Mission, with an allocated budget up to FY2029-30, aims to achieve self-reliance in clean energy, reduce carbon emissions, lower dependence on fossil fuel imports, and position India as a leader in green hydrogen technology and the global Clean Energy Transition.
