Amara Raja Infra builds India’s first green hydrogen station in Leh

Amara Raja Infra has completed construction of India’s first green hydrogen fuelling station in Leh, Ladakh, for NTPC Ltd. The facility, inaugurated by Union Minister for Power and Housing and Urban Affairs Manohar Lal on Saturday, is a landmark step in green mobility.

The station has a production capacity of 80 kilograms of green hydrogen per day and was built over two years in extreme conditions at an altitude of 3,400 meters, where temperatures range from -25°C to 30°C. The project will support emission-free transport in the Leh region, placing India among the leaders in green mobility.

With the facility operational, NTPC plans to introduce five hydrogen fuel cell buses in the area. Dwarakanadha Reddy, Business Head (Power EPC) at Amara Raja Infra, emphasised that the challenging project underscores the company’s expertise in engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC), marking their entry into green hydrogen infrastructure.

This project aligns with India’s National Hydrogen Energy Mission and is expected to pave the way for larger-scale green hydrogen mobility and storage initiatives. It also serves as a model for deploying similar hydrogen fuelling stations across the country, the company stated.
