In a significant development for green mobility, Ladakh saw the inauguration of five hydrogen fuel cell buses, a first in India's commercial deployment of such vehicles. The buses, provided by NTPC Limited to SIDCO, are set to operate in Leh, known for its high-altitude challenges. A ceremony at NTPC's hydrogen mobility station marked the official handover, with officials praising the technological feat achieved in executing this project at extreme heights. The State's Chief Secretary commended NTPC for its pioneering efforts, foreseeing a potential shift towards hydrogen fuel cell mobility across the country. This initiative, a collaboration between NTPC and the Ladakh administration, aligns with India's renewable energy goals and commitment to reducing carbon footprint. NTPC's hydrogen fueling station, co-located with a solar plant, stands as a testament to sustainable energy practices, aiming to significantly cut carbon emissions and promote oxygen production. With plans to expand its renewable energy capacity, NTPC's endeavor in Ladakh showcases a promising transition towards cleaner and more sustainable transportation solutions.
