Indian Army's Green Hydrogen Initiative with IOCL in Delhi-NCR
Key Ideas
  • Indian Oil is operating 15 green hydrogen fuel cell buses in Delhi-NCR, each covering 20,000 km, totaling 300,000 km across the fleet.
  • The Indian Army, in collaboration with Indian Oil, received a hydrogen fuel cell bus for trials, aiming to explore fuel cell technology for public transport.
  • The bus has a seating capacity of 37 passengers and can travel 250-300 km on a full 30 kg tank of hydrogen fuel, emitting only water vapor.
  • The Indian Army's green initiatives also include signing an MoU for green hydrogen-based microgrid power plants along the northern borders to provide clean electricity to troops in harsh terrains.
Indian Oil is currently operating 15 green hydrogen fuel cell buses in the Delhi-NCR region, with each bus covering an average of 20,000 kilometers, resulting in a total of 300,000 kilometers collectively across the fleet. In a collaboration between the Indian Army and Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL), the Indian Army received a hydrogen fuel cell bus to initiate trials exploring the potential adoption of fuel cell technology for public transportation. The bus, with a seating capacity of 37 passengers, boasts an impressive mileage of 250-300 km on a full 30 kg tank of hydrogen fuel, emitting only water vapor as a by-product, ensuring zero emissions. This move signifies a significant step towards sustainable and eco-friendly transportation solutions. Additionally, the Indian Army has been proactive in green initiatives, evidenced by signing an MoU for green hydrogen-based microgrid power plants along the northern borders. This initiative aims to provide round-the-clock clean electricity to troops stationed in challenging terrains and extreme weather conditions. The joint effort between the Indian Army and IOCL highlights a commitment to innovation, sustainability, and environmental responsibility in the pursuit of cleaner and greener transport solutions.
