State-owned power giant NTPC has started a trial run of a hydrogen bus in Leh.
Towards achieving carbon-neutral Ladakh, NTPC is setting up a hydrogen fuelling station, solar plant and providing five fuel cell buses for operation on intracity routes of Leh, a company statement said.
The first hydrogen bus reached Leh on August 17 as part of a three-month-long process of field trials, roadworthiness tests and other statutory procedures.
This will be India’s first-ever deployment of hydrogen buses on public roads, it claimed.
