N. Patel today.<\/p>\n<p>The plea stated that the FAME India Scheme aims at encouraging domestic manufacture of electric vehicles and to promote and create a market for electric vehicles in India.\u00a0 The plea further states that\u00a0the primary objectives of the FAME scheme are to reduce the dependence on petroleum resources, counter the impact of internal combustion engine vehicles on the environment, and to keep pace with the gradual shift of the automobile industry towards alternate fuels including electric vehicles.<\/p>\n<p>The plea further stated that FAME scheme has not been able to adequately utilize its budget towards adoption of electric vehicles and, for example, out of a total budget of INR 700 crores for setting up charging infrastructure only INR 20 crores have been disbursed in the period from 2019 up to 10th\u00a0February 2021.<\/p>\n<p>The petitioner had sought court\u2019s direction to the government to allocate a part of the unutilized funds from the FAME India Phase II Scheme for promoting and incentivizing demand for hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles and construction and operation of hydrogen refuelling stations.<\/p>\n<p>During arguments it was also brought to the notice of the Hon\u2019ble Court that production of\u00a0Green Hydrogen, using electrolysis of water, also generated 99% pure Oxygen which would ensure that India never fell short of any oxygen supply in future.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe world is looking towards Hydrogen as an important piece of the decarbonization puzzle. India is very well placed to tap this opportunity and develop as a global leader in Hydrogen with massive solar &amp; wind capacities to support such a clean energy future.\u201d said Ashwini Kumar.<\/p>\n<p>In the fight to reduce the dependence of India\u2019s transport sector on imported oil and gas, it is paramount that the government supports and incentivises alternate fuel technologies such as Hydrogen powered fuel cell electric vehicles which can be effectively used in both long-distance heavy transport and for passenger vehicles.<\/p>\n<p>Prime Minister Narendra Modi had announced a National Hydrogen Energy Mission (NHEM) during his speech in December 2020 and the Finance Minister during her budget speech in February 2021 also mentioned the NHEM.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Delhi High Court today directed the Department of Heavy Industries, Government of India, to consider including Hydrogen Fuel Cell electric vehicles and Hydrogen Refuelling infrastructure within the ambit of the Scheme for Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Electric Vehicles in India Phase II (FAME India Phase II) scheme while disposing off the\u00a0PIL.\u00a0 The Hon\u2019ble [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":60047,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[1],"tags":[45269,47507],"class_list":["post-60620","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-top-law-news","tag-chief-justice-d-n-patel","tag-national-hydrogen-energy-mission"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>DHC directs the Department of Heavy Industries, GoI, to consider including Hydrogen Fuel Cell electric vehicles and Hydrogen Refuelling infrastructure within FAME - Legal News India - Supreme Court &amp; High Court Updates<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The Delhi High Court today directed the Department of Heavy Industries, Government of India, to consider including Hydrogen Fuel Cell electric vehicles - Get the latest legal news from the Supreme Court, High Courts, and government.
