In a groundbreaking development for green mobility, India's first high-altitude hydrogen fuel cell buses were recently inaugurated in Leh, Ladakh. This historic event took place at the NTPC Green Hydrogen Mobility Station in Palam, Leh, where five hydrogen-powered buses were handed over to the State Industrial Development Corporation. The launch ceremony was attended by key officials, including the Administrative Secretary of the Transport Department and the Chief Secretary of Ladakh. The project is not only a first in India but also sets a global standard, showcasing Leh as the world's highest-altitude location with operational hydrogen buses. Government representatives praised the initiative for its role in Ladakh's goal of achieving carbon neutrality and highlighted the project's significance in India's renewable energy strategy. The collaboration between NTPC and the Ladakh Administration is viewed as a transformative step in promoting clean energy in environmentally sensitive regions. This project is expected to pave the way for similar initiatives nationwide and position India as a leader in hydrogen energy innovation on the global stage.
