Union Minister Hardeep S Puri to flag off India's first green hydrogen fuel cell bus
Green Hydrogen Fuel Cell Bus at Kartavya Path in Delhi on September 25. Green Hydrogen, produced using renewable energy sources, holds the potential to play a pivotal role in low-carbon and self-reliant economic pathways, read the Ministry Petroleum and Natural Gas press release. It offers the prospect of harnessing domestically abundant renewable energy resources year-round and across various sectors, either as a fuel or an industrial feedstock. Green Hydrogen has the capacity to replace fossil fuel-derived feedstocks in industries like petroleum refining, fertilizer production, and steel manufacturing, read the press release. Fuel cell technology, powered by hydrogen, is emerging as a significant component of the e-mobility landscape. The electrochemical reaction in a fuel cell converts hydrogen at the anode and oxygen from the air at the cathode into water, releasing electrical energy in the form of electrons, read the press release. Fuel cells boast remarkable efficiency compared to other mobility solutions and provide distinct advantages such as extended range and shorter refuelling times in comparison to battery-powered vehicles. Hydrogen gas is stored onboard in cylinders, typically at a pressure of 350 bar. IndianOil has embarked on a scientifically designed program to conduct operational trials of 15 Fuel Cell buses fueled by Green Hydrogen on specific routes in Delhi, Haryana, and Uttar Pradesh, read the press release. The launch of the first set of two fuel cell buses from India Gate on September 25, 2023, marks a significant milestone in this endeavour. This program represents India's maiden initiative to dispense green hydrogen at 350 bar for operating fuel cell buses. Additionally, IndianOil has established

Banks can request LOCs against defaulters only in 'exceptional' circumstances: HC
look-out circulars (LOCs) against defaulters only in exceptional circumstances when questions affecting the country's economy are involved and the authority concerned must satisfy itself before such circulars are issued, the Delhi High Court ruled on Friday. Expressing displeasure over banks insisting on LOCs for recovery of dues without initiating any criminal proceedings, Justice Subramonium Prasad said there has to be some application of mind as these circulars result in restraining a person's right to travel abroad. He further noted that the opening of an LOC also casts aspersions on the person against whom it is opened. The judgment came on a petition by the two former directors of a company whose loan accounts were declared as NPA by Bank of Baroda in 2019.

SC rejects plea seeking permit to allow green, joined crackers
The directions were passed on a clutch of interlocutory applications in a case pertaining to the ban on the sale, purchase and use of firecrackers in India. The court had last week refused to interfere with a Delhi government order putting a comprehensive ban on manufacture, storage, sale and bursting of firecrackers. BJP Lok Sabha MP from North East Delhi, Manoj Tiwari, had told a bench headed by Justice Bopanna that a complete ban on bursting of crackers has been imposed by the Delhi government despite the court allowing bursting of green firecrackers.

Refusing to interfere, the bench had verbally told the counsel for Tiwari that «locally, if there is a ban, there is a ban.
