Gautam Adani Group has deployed India’s first hydrogen-powered truck for mining logistics in Chhattisgarh. This truck can carry 40 tonnes of goods up to a distance of 200 km. Adani Enterprises, the flagship company of the group, flagged off hydrogen fuel cell trucks to promote clean transportation.Adani Enterprises said – These hydrogen-powered trucks will gradually replace diesel vehicles used in the company’s logistics operations. The company said that in collaboration with an Indian, international energy technology firm and a leading auto manufacturer, Adani is developing hydrogen fuel cell battery-powered trucks for freight transport. Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Vishnu Dev Sai flagged off the first truck in Raipur. It will be used to transport coal from the Gare Pelma – 3 block to the state’s power plants.Chhattisgarh State Power Generation Company Limited has appointed Adani Enterprises as the mining developer and operator for the Gare Pelma-3 block through a competitive bidding process.The project is a joint effort between Adani Natural Resources (ANR) and Adani New Industries Limited (ANIL). Both entities are part of Adani Enterprises. Adani Natural Resources will obtain hydrogen cells from ANIL, which is also involved in manufacturing green hydrogen, wind turbines, solar modules and batteries. Hydrogen, the most abundant element, does not emit any harmful emissions.Adani Natural Resources is the first company in Asia to implement dozer push semi-autonomous technology, which promotes safety and sustainability. Talking about Adani Natural Resources, it produces and processes coal, minerals and metals.Talking about the stock of Adani Enterprises last Friday, it fell 1.48% to close at Rs 2251.75. Now investors will keep an eye on the company’s stock on Monday.Hydrogen fuel is considered a clean energy source, emitting only water vapour and hot air during use. It matches diesel in load capacity and range, but produces significantly less pollution and noise, which is important in the mining industry where diesel remains the dominant fuel.Switching from diesel to hydrogen will not only reduce emissions but will also help reduce India’s oil import dependence and boost energy security.Adani Group’s hydrogen-powered mining truck represents a significant shift towards sustainable logistics in India. As industries seek cleaner alternatives to fossil fuels, this innovation puts Adani at the forefront of green infrastructure and mining reform.Talking on this topic Ronak Roy a businessman said”The deployment of hydrogen-powered trucks by Adani Group is a revolutionary step for India’s logistics and mining industry. This initiative not only promotes clean energy but will also reduce our oil import dependency. Industries should now move faster towards such innovations. This truck is pollution-free, noise-free and a cost-efficient option in the long run. This is a strong signal towards sustainable development in India that we are ready to adopt future technologies. Such participation of the private sector can take the country’s energy security to new heights.”
