NTPC has handed over five Hydrogen fuel cell buses to Sindhu Infrastructure Development Corporation (SIDCO), a wholly owned corporation of Leh Administration, for operation and use on June 18, 2025. This initiative marks India’s first commercial deployment of hydrogen fuel buses and sets a global benchmark for green mobility by operating at the highest altitude in the world.
Last November, NTPC launched world’s first hydrogen fueling station and first-of-its kind Green Hydrogen Mobility Station in Leh. The station at an altitude of 11,562 ft is co-located with dedicated Solar plant of 1.7 MW for providing renewable power for its entire operational requirements. The hydrogen fuel is dispensed at 350 bar (India’s first high pressure hydrogen dispensation system) in five fuel cell buses, designed for operation in sub-zero temperature in rarefied atmosphere, typical to such altitude locations. The hydrogen mobility project shall mitigate the carbon emissions of around 350 MT per year and contribute 230 MT per year of pure oxygen into the atmosphere equivalent to 13000 tree plantations.
NTPC is the flagship company of the NTPC Group. It is the largest power utility company in India and has presence in Coal, Gas, Solar PV, Hydro and Wind Power Generation and Coal Mining.
