Amara Raja Infra Pioneers Green Hydrogen Station for NTPC in Leh, India
Key Ideas
- Amara Raja Infra completes India's first green hydrogen fuelling station in Leh for NTPC, supporting emission-free transport.
- The project, inaugurated by Union Ministers, aims to operate five hydrogen fuel cell buses in Leh and surrounding areas.
- The station can produce 80 kilograms of green hydrogen per day and serves as a model for future green hydrogen mobility projects.
- This initiative aligns with India's National Hydrogen Energy Mission, showcasing Amara Raja Infra's capabilities in green infrastructure.
Amara Raja Infra, a subsidiary of the Amara Raja Group, has successfully established India's first green hydrogen fuelling station in Leh, Ladakh, for NTPC Ltd. This milestone project supports emission-free transportation in the region and contributes to advancing green mobility in India. Inaugurated by Union Power Minister Shri Manohar Lal, the station will facilitate the operation of five hydrogen fuel cell buses in Leh and its surroundings. The project, involving design, engineering, construction, and maintenance support, demonstrates Amara Raja Infra's expertise in executing EPC projects and highlights its entry into the green hydrogen infrastructure sector. With a daily capacity to produce 80 kilograms of green hydrogen, the station operated at an altitude of 3,400 meters above sea level and endured extreme temperatures. This pioneering effort is expected to set a precedent for similar green hydrogen projects in the country, supporting the National Hydrogen Energy Mission's objectives and offering valuable insights for future hydrogen fuelling station deployments.
