The Union Territory of Ladakh in India is taking a significant step towards sustainable transportation by introducing the country's first hydrogen fuel cell buses. Five such buses were handed over by NTPC Limited to the State Industrial Development Corporation in Leh. These buses will operate on clean energy, marking a milestone in green mobility on some of the world's highest motorable roads. The project, facilitated by a 1.7 MW solar plant in Leh, is expected to reduce carbon emissions by 350 metric tonnes annually and contribute 230 metric tonnes of oxygen, equivalent to planting 13,000 trees. Each bus has a seating capacity of 32 passengers and can cover 230 km on a single charge. The bus service is set to start with a trial run on three routes, with plans to offer the same fare as electric buses. This initiative not only promotes renewable energy and green mobility but also showcases India's commitment to net-zero emissions and environmental sustainability.
