Mumbai: Amara Raja Power Systems, a part of the $1.3-bn Amara Raja group headquartered in Tirupati, has bagged a contract from NTPC to set up India's first green hydrogen fuelling station in Leh.

The pilot project is being set up in Leh's extreme conditions at a height of 3,600 meters above sea level, Amara Raja Power Systems said in a release on Monday. The pilot project will produce a minimum of 80kg/day of 99.97 per cent pure hydrogen which will be compressed, stored and dispensed.
