India has launched five pilot projects under the National Green Hydrogen Mission, sanctioned by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy, to introduce hydrogen-powered vehicles and refueling infrastructure across the country. These projects will deploy a total of 37 vehicles, including fuel-cell-based and internal combustion engine-based vehicles, along with establishing nine hydrogen refueling stations along 10 routes. Companies like TATA Motors, Reliance Industries, and NTPC have been chosen to lead these projects, supported by a total financial backing of Rs. 208 Crore from the Indian government. The main objective of these initiatives is to assess the technical and economic feasibility of hydrogen as a transport fuel and to lay the groundwork for broader adoption in the future. This move is in line with India's vision for Aatmanirbhar Bharat (self-reliant India) and its commitment to clean energy. The projects are expected to be operational within the next 18-24 months, marking a significant step towards achieving sustainable and green transportation solutions as part of India's clean energy transition.
