Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari revealed that he uses a hydrogen-powered vehicle and announced plans to roll out hydrogen buses across India.
Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari said in a statement that he travels daily in a hydrogen-powered vehicle. He also announced that the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways will introduce hydrogen buses in the near future.
