Will a hydrogen fuel cell bus be successful in India?

Image
 It will take another 3-4 years to know if green hydrogen fuel cell buses will be successful or not. These type of busses has been rolled out in India and hence technology is available now. Storage and transportation of hydrogen issues will get resolved in due course. Only issue is the cost of green hydrogen production. If India can make it economically, there is a huge export potential. Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) on Monday 25 September 2023 unveiled the nation's first green hydrogen-powered bus that emits just water as it takes the lead in bringing out unrivaled tools to replace fossil fuels. IOC will produce close to 75 kg of hydrogen by splitting water using electricity from renewable sources. This hydrogen will be used to power two buses which will ply across the NCR for trial runs. Oil Minister Hardeep Singh Puri, flagging off the buses, said hydrogen will be India's transition fuel for moving away from fossil fuels. IOC's R&D Centre at Faridabad is producing gre

Why was Rahul Gandhi carrying a suitcase with 4 wheels on his head?

RaGa is behaving like a headless chicken. RaGa is doing regular ‘tamasha’ to stay in media limelight. He has nothing else to do. This is what Arvind Kejriwal did during 2012-2014 period for media attention. RaGa seems to have orphaned his Wayanad constituency just like he ignored Amethi earlier. Please don’t ask what RaGa is doing. He himself doesn’t know what he is doing and why. Picture source: Google / Respective rightful owner  

Prime Minister Modi publicly humiliated the Canadian Prime Minister at the G20. What does this mean? The last time he was publicly criticized was by Chinese President Xi Jinping. Why is Prime Minister Trudeau so unlucky?

Canadian PM Justin Trudeau is simply unlucky. He picked up fight with powerful leaders like the emperor of China during Bali G20 summit in 2022 and Modi during G20 New Delhi 2023. Canadian PM, Justin Trudeau did not took the Presidential Suite in Lalit Hotel during G20 summit New Delhi 2023 which was booked for him and as per protocol. This created Security issues as even the Glasses of Presidential Suite was changed to bullet proof for his security. This means PM Trudeau had no trust on Indian security. He finally took an ordinary room in that hotel. Trudeau did not take the VIP Indian Plane to go back from G20 summit and waited 36 hours to get his own plane rectified when his Plane had some snag. The nature of plane snag, if any, may not become public anytime soon but it exposed a rift between India and Canada. Both PM Trudeau and Modi told media that they informed their counterpart about their concerns in clear terms. This means bilateral India-Canada meet on side-lines of G20 summi

Is India's R&AW the new Mossad? Are Modi and Ajit Doval changing India's image of being a "soft state"?

In April 2001, all leading Indian newspapers carried a photograph on the front page which made the collective heart of a nation sink. The photo was of Bangladeshi villagers carrying the body of an Indian border soldier dangling by his hands and feet from a bamboo pole like a freshly hunted animal. He was one of the 16 Border Security Force soldiers allegedly tortured and killed by Bangladesh Rifles men in a border skirmish. The entire nation watched helplessly as a young nuclear power failed to act against even tiny Bangladesh and swallowed the humiliation with merely meek condemnation. What Indians despondently believed was embodied in that front-page image: theirs was a ‘soft State’. The label was hung in an even larger font after each terror strike, culminating with the 26/11 Mumbai attack. India’s political and security establishments were caught asleep; the air force did not even have the coordinates of Pakistan terror camps to retaliate. India kept sending dossiers of Pakistan-sp

Why is Narendra Modi against press interviews?

PM Modi once said, ‘if I drink water, opposition congress leaders will say ‘Modi ko paani pila diya’ (we made Modi drink water). Obviously, that will be a big breaking news for librandĀµ media who thrive on sensational news. Today TRP is most important for media. Why Modi said so? This is the way Indian media works. Reporter : Sir, what do you eat during Navratri Hindu festival? Modi : I only eat one single fruit in this Navratri. Reporter : PM Sir; which fruit will you eat ? Modi : Papaya NDTV : Breaking news ...Modi does not like Mangoes; Banana; etc. He only eats Papaya. Surjewala : Modi like Papaya means Saffron in color. This means Saffronisation of food choice. Shekhar Gupta : This means Modi is only promoting Hindutva. He does not like green fruits means he is against Muslims. This clearly shows Modi has no feelings for Muslims. Mamata : I will put a ban on papaya in Bengal. Rahul Gandhi: My favourite Fruit is Banana ....I will never eat Papaya. Barkha Dutt : The nation wants to
