Soon, a panel comprising scientists, industry leaders and policymakers may fast-track push for hydrogen as fuel

The Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) will soon notify a high-level committee–likely to be chaired by NITI Aayog vice chairman Rajiv Kumar–that will work on fast-tracking development and usage of hydrogen as a fuel, an official said.

The expert committee will include scientists, industry leaders and policymakers from across stakeholder ministries. Kumar has already had two rounds of discussions with experts and stakeholder ministries on developing a roadmap for introducing hydrogen as a fuel.
