Major companies like TATA Motors, Reliance Industries, NTPC, Ashok Leyland, BPCL, and IOCL have been awarded the projects, with the Government of India providing a financial support of \u20b9208 crores. These projects are expected to be commissioned within the next 18-24 months, laying the foundation for large-scale hydrogen technology adoption in India\u2019s transportation sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The primary goal of these pilot projects is to develop commercially viable technologies for hydrogen use in transport, including hydrogen refuelling stations. These initiatives will help demonstrate the safe and effective operation of hydrogen-powered vehicles, assess their performance, and evaluate their economic viability under real-world conditions. The National Green Hydrogen Mission, launched in January 2023 with a \u20b919,744 crore outlay until FY 2029-30, aims to decarbonize India\u2019s economy, reduce fossil fuel dependency, and position India as a leader in the global clean energy transition. This mission aligns with India\u2019s ambition to become self-reliant through clean energy by 2047.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/economictimes.indiatimes.com\/industry\/renewables\/hardeep-puri-launches-indias-first-hydrogen-fuel-cell-powered-bus\/articleshow\/103924452.cms?from=mdr\">Image Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Government of India has initiated five pilot projects under the National Green Hydrogen Mission to explore the use of hydrogen in buses and trucks.
