en.Wedoany.com Reported - On May 15, 2026, the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) and Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL) jointly launched a hydrogen-powered shuttle bus service operating in the Central Vista area of Delhi. The project is being implemented by DMRC in collaboration with the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs and the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas.

The service uses two hydrogen fuel cell buses provided by IOCL, each with a capacity of 35 passengers and equipped with GPS tracking systems and CCTV surveillance. The buses connect Central Secretariat station with Sewa Tirth Metro station, running on two circular routes—clockwise and counterclockwise—covering major government office areas and landmarks such as Kartavya Path Building, Vijayan Building, Nirman Bhawan, Akbar Road, Baroda House, National Stadium, National Gallery of Modern Art, and India Gate.

The service operates on weekdays from Monday to Friday, excluding public holidays, with operating hours from 8:30 AM to 12:30 PM and 3:30 PM to 6:30 PM, with buses departing every 30 minutes. Passengers can pay fares using the National Common Mobility Card, Unified Payments Interface, or cash, with fares set at 10 rupees and 15 rupees based on distance.

DMRC is responsible for bus operations, ticketing, and passenger services, while IOCL provides drivers and hydrogen fuel support. The buses emit only water vapor, producing no other tailpipe pollutants. IOCL's Research and Development Centre in Faridabad is responsible for producing the required green hydrogen and providing refueling facilities.
