IndianOil has handed over a state-of-the-art green hydrogen fuel cell bus to the Indian Navy. This event was marked by the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between IndianOil and the Indian Navy, for the deployment of hydrogen fuel cell technology for heavy-duty e-mobility.

Admiral Dinesh K Tripathi, the Chief of Naval Staff of the Indian Navy, said, "We will be testing one of the hydrogen buses and looking forward to deploying environment-friendly transportation in larger numbers, and I must thank IndianOil for choosing the Indian Navy as their partner." 

S M Vaidya, Chairman, IndianOil, said, "As we continue to support our defence forces with innovative, forward-looking solutions that cater to tomorrow’s needs. IndianOil has been leading the way in advancing Green hydrogen and fuel cell technologies."
