India's First Green Hydrogen Fuelling Station in Leh: A Milestone in Sustainable Energy
Key Ideas
- Amara Raja Infra completes construction of India's first green hydrogen fuelling station in Leh, Ladakh, enabling emission-free transport.
- The fuelling station, capable of producing 80kg of GH2 per day, operates at extreme conditions at a height of 3,400 meters above sea level.
- NTPC will operationalize five hydrogen fuel cell buses in the region with the completion of the project.
- The project serves as a stepping stone for larger green hydrogen mobility and storage projects in India under the National Hydrogen Energy Mission.
Amara Raja Infra has successfully completed the construction of India's first green hydrogen fuelling station in Leh, Ladakh, for NTPC Ltd. The station, with a capacity of producing 80kg of GH2 per day, was built under extreme conditions at a height of 3,400 meters above sea level. This milestone project, inaugurated by Union Minister Manohar Lal, aims to enable emission-free transport in and around Leh, positioning India as a leader in green mobility. With plans to operationalize five hydrogen fuel cell buses in the region, the project demonstrates Amara Raja Infra's EPC expertise and entry into the green hydrogen infrastructure space. The successful completion of this project is significant as it paves the way for future large-scale green hydrogen mobility and storage initiatives in India as part of the National Hydrogen Energy Mission, facilitating the deployment of multiple hydrogen fuelling stations across the country.
