RIL, Tata Motors, IOCL to be key bidders for green hydrogen pilot project in India

In India, Business Today reported that Reliance Industries (RIL), Tata Motors and Indian Oil Corporation are likely to be key bidders for the government’s pilot project for the use of green/grey hydrogen in the transport sector. The report noted that the pilot project will help identify operational issues and gaps in terms of technology readiness, regulations, implementation, infrastructure and supply chains. The bid, part of the National Green Hydrogen Mission, opened in February and closed last week, the report added. Bidders must participate as a consortium or partners to ensure the entire value chain from making hydrogen and dispensing it to running vehicles, as per the report. The consortium should include a vehicle manufacturer, hydrogen fuel supplier distributor, as well as other partners. The learnings from the pilot project will eventually be used to help intercity buses, truck operators and private car users with the usage of hydrogen-powered vehicles and refueling technologies, the report added.
