Bhubaneswar to Get Hydrogen Buses to Boost Green Transport
The government is starting a new way to help people get around that's good for the environment.
They're going to use buses that run on hydrogen, which is a clean type of energy.
They'll start with three buses in Bhubaneswar to see how it goes.
If it works well, they might use them in other places too.
This is part of a plan to use clean energy in transportation, like the electric buses already in use.
It's a step towards cleaner air and a better environment for everyone.
The state government plans to introduce hydrogen-powered buses in Bhubaneswar.
An agreement has been signed with a green energy company for a pilot project.
The pilot phase will involve three hydrogen-powered buses.
A dedicated depot will be constructed to support operations.
The initiative aligns with existing green public transport infrastructure, including electric buses.
