NTPC has awarded the project of setting up India's first green hydrogen fueling station in Leh, Ladakh, to Amara Raja Power Systems. To begin, NTPC plans to ply five hydrogen fuel cell buses in the region. This pilot project is being set up in Leh's extreme conditions at the height of 3,600 meters above sea level with a temperature variation of -14 degrees to +20 degrees Celsius. Amara Raja Power Systems was selected to execute this initiative based on its technical expertise. Green hydrogen will be produced by splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen, using an electrolysis process powered by electricity generated by renewable energy sources.
