India’s first hydrogen fuel cell-
based electric vehicles project
The State-owned NTPC, India’s largest power producer is planning to undertake pilot projects on hydrogen fuel cell-based electric vehicles in India for demonstration and public transportation.
Hydrogen fuel cell-based electric vehicles
At first, the five such buses and cars each in New Delhi and Leh (a district in union territory Ladakh) are planned and later on the project may extend in other cities.
The NTPC sought the global Expression of Interest (EOI) from manufacturers for the supply of hydrogen fuel cell buses and cars for the pilot project. The NTPC Vidyut Vyapar Nigam (NVVN) Limited has issued this EOI.
This initiative was launched with the support of the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy. It will deal the renewable energy for the generation of hydrogen and develop its storage and dispensation facilities as part of pilot projects at Leh and Delhi.
India’s first pilot project
This is the first project in India to bring in hydrogen fuel cell-based vehicles where we can obtain complete solutions for the green energy.
The applicants who are identified by the EOI will be asked to submit commercial proposals for undertaking pilot projects in some of the locations.
NTPC invited bids for 90 e-buses
It has issued three tenders which invited bids for eligible firms from the operation of 250 electric buses in three cities of Madhya Pradesh in November 2019.
The project will be completed under the second phase of the Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Electric Vehicles in India Phase II (FAME India Phase II) scheme.
