Delhi Hydrogen Bus Route:  Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC), in collaboration with the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, launched a hydrogen-powered shuttle bus service in the Central Vista area of the national capital today. The move comes after PM Modi urged citizens to reduce fuel consumption in the country. The global fuel supply has been disrupted severely since the US-Iran war began, and global crude oil prices have skyrocketed in recent months. Let’s take a look at the route and timings of Delhi’s first hydrogen bus shuttle.

First In Delhi, Second In India

While Delhi has received its first hydrogen-powered bus with the commencement of DMRC’s hydrogen shuttle bus service, it is the second hydrogen-powered bus in the country. Notably, the first hydrogen-powered bus service was unveiled in the country in 2022 in Pune, Maharashtra. Now, the country has received its second hydrogen-powered bus service in the form of Delhi’s first hydrogen bus.
