New Delhi: In a significant move towards promoting sustainable transportation, Hardeep Singh Puri, Minister of Petroleum & Natural Gas, presented India’s advancements in green hydrogen mobility by demonstrating a hydrogen-fueled bus powered by IndianOil to the Prime Minister of Bhutan, Tshering Tobgay, and his delegation. The event underscored India’s growing leadership in clean energy solutions and its commitment to fostering regional partnerships for environmental sustainability.
The showcase was attended by V. Satish Kumar, Chairman and Director (Marketing) of IndianOil, alongside senior officials from the Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas. During the demonstration, Puri highlighted India’s rapid progress in green hydrogen technology, stating, “India’s strides in green hydrogen are a testament to our commitment to sustainable energy solutions. We are eager to collaborate with regional partners like Bhutan to pave the way for a cleaner, greener future.”
He also noted that India is actively pursuing projects such as hydrogen blending in natural gas pipelines, localization of electrolyzer-based technologies, and bio-pathways for green hydrogen production. These initiatives are set to position India as a global leader in green hydrogen production and exports, helping the country meet its decarbonization goals.
The event highlighted the shared vision between India and Bhutan for advancing green energy initiatives. The Bhutanese delegation expressed keen interest in adopting green hydrogen mobility, aligning with their nation’s commitment to environmental sustainability and clean energy solutions.
IndianOil has been at the forefront of hydrogen research since 2004, initially focusing on hydrogen-CNG blends. In recent years, it has accelerated its green hydrogen initiatives, including projects in storage, transportation, and various applications. India’s first hydrogen dispensing station is already operational at IndianOil’s R&D Centre in Faridabad, and a collaboration with Tata Motors has led to the development of green hydrogen fuel cell buses.
Currently, eight fuel cell buses, including those for the Indian Army and Navy, are operational in the Delhi NCR region. Additional buses have been deployed in Vadodara, refueled at IndianOil’s hydrogen dispensing station, showcasing the company’s leadership in advancing green hydrogen solutions and eco-friendly transportation.
