The Jharkhand government on Friday paved the way for the country’s “first” hydrogen fuel project, inking a pact with TCPL Green Energy Solutions Private Ltd (TCPL GES) to set up an over Rs 350-crore facility at Jamshedpur.
The agreement was signed in the presence of Chief Minister Hemant Soren, who termed the occasion as “momentous”.

The capacity of the proposed unit, which would entail an investment of Rs 354.28 crore, will be over 4,000 hydrogen IC engine/fuel agnostic engine and more than 10,000 battery system.
