As the energy demand of the automotive and industrial sectors continues to increase around the world, conventional fossil fuels will no longer be able to meet the growing needs for clean and reliable energy. Hydrogen has emerged internationally as a multi-sector solution. From aviation and shipping to long-distance road transport, hydrogen is a green alternative to power heavy-duty vehicles and energy-intensive industries. Due to the current energy crisis, environmental degradation and climate change effects caused by fossil fuels, India is exploring clean and efficient alternatives to fossil fuels, including the use of fuel cell technology.

The use of hydrogen as a fuel for cars has gained momentum in India. India's Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) has supported various hydrogen projects in academic institutions, research organizations and industry for their development. Examples of projects include the development of hydrogen-powered internal combustion engines to power two- and three-wheelers and minibuses, as well as the establishment of two hydrogen refueling stations at the Indian Oil R&D Center in Faridabad. and at the National Solar Energy Institute in Gurugram. As of February 2020, the MNRE has partnered with NTPC Ltd., an Indian energy conglomerate, to propose the launch of a fuel cell bus pilot project.

With India's rapid population growth and economic development, the country is facing major environmental problems affecting its people. The technology of fuel cells and hydrogen is emerging as a solution due to its clean operation and its application versatility. India's funding of major fuel cell and hydrogen technology developments will help make hydrogen part of key decarbonization methods, from reducing emissions from obvious factors like transportation
