In a groundbreaking development, five hydrogen fuel cell-based buses are poised to operate commercially in Leh, Ladakh, making it the first instance of hydrogen-powered buses in India. The National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC) recently handed over these buses to the State Industrial Development Corporation at a ceremony in Leh's green hydrogen mobility station. This initiative is a monumental step towards green mobility, especially given the challenging terrain of Leh, which boasts the highest motorable roads globally. The transport department's Administrative Secretary conducted a thorough inspection of NTPC's green hydrogen plant, commending the technological advancements and their contribution to Ladakh's carbon-neutral goals. Chief Secretary Pawan Kotwal praised NTPC's pioneering efforts, emphasizing the potential for a new era of hydrogen fuel cell mobility in India. He urged the team to document their experiences to guide future projects across the country. This collaborative project between the Ladakh administration and NTPC showcases India's expertise in renewable energy innovation and sets a precedent for sustainable public transport in environmentally significant regions. The successful deployment of hydrogen buses underlines the country's commitment to cleaner transportation and signifies a significant milestone in advancing green mobility in challenging terrains.
