In a significant move towards sustainable transportation, NTPC Ltd has provided five hydrogen fuel cell buses to Sindhu Infrastructure Development Corporation (SIDCO) in Ladakh for commercial deployment, making it India's first such initiative at the highest altitude globally. The project, initiated in Leh at 11,562 feet, includes the world's highest hydrogen-powered public transport operation. This development follows NTPC's earlier achievement of launching the world's first high-altitude hydrogen fueling station, co-located with a solar plant. The eco-friendly buses are part of a broader plan to introduce green hydrogen-based mobility into mainstream public transport, contributing to environmental conservation by reducing carbon emissions and generating pure oxygen. This aligns with India's commitment to cleaner energy sources and sustainability targets. NTPC, a key player in India's energy sector, is focusing on expanding its renewable energy capacity to 60 GW by 2032, supporting the country's transition towards green energy. The initiative in Ladakh not only showcases India's progress in embracing hydrogen technology but also sets a global benchmark for sustainable transport solutions in challenging terrains.
