Admiral Dinesh K Tripathi, the Chief of Naval Staff of the Indian Navy, said, "The partnership between IndianOil and the Indian Navy is built on an unbreakable bond of trust. 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.

Currently, IndianOil is running 15 fuel cell buses in Delhi-NCR and Gujarat, totaling 300,000 kilometers traveled. Each bus is expected to reach at least 20,000 kilometers in mileage. The project will assess the performance of fuel cell electric buses for public transit in the demanding climatic conditions of the Delhi NCR region, analysing the impact of local fuel and air quality on the performance of fuel cell systems and vehicles. Additionally, it will evaluate the effectiveness, longevity, and operational reliability of fuel cell buses intended for public fleet utilization.
