										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>NEW DELHI.</strong> The Delhi government is planning to introduce two hydrogen fuel cell buses in the national capital as part of its efforts to promote clean energy and sustainable public transportation. Transport Minister Pankaj Singh said the initiative will be undertaken in coordination with NTPC, marking a significant step towards adopting advanced zero-emission technologies. The Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC) is currently working on a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the state-owned power company, which will provide the buses under its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programme.</p>
<p>Under the proposed arrangement, DTC will bear the operational expenditure at the approved Gross Cost Contract (GCC) rate of Rs 45 per kilometre, while NTPC will support costs beyond this framework through its CSR mechanism. Singh said hydrogen fuel technology represents an important milestone in Delhi’s transition to future-ready and environmentally responsible mobility solutions. He added that collaboration with organisations such as NTPC will help strengthen the city’s public transport network, contribute to cleaner air, and support the broader goal of building a greener and more sustainable future.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>NEW DELHI.</strong> The Central Government is preparing to launch modern Water Metro systems across 18 cities in India to reduce city traffic jams and improve public transport options. Inspired by the massive success of the Kochi Water Metro, the government has already released the Draft National Water Metro Policy 2026 to start the approval process. The new network will operate just like a regular metro rail system but will use advanced electric or hybrid boats on rivers and lakes. In the initial phase, the project will cover water-rich cities including Srinagar, Patna, Varanasi, Ayodhya, Prayagraj, and Guwahati, before expanding to other locations like Tezpur and Dibrugarh in Assam during the second phase.</p>
<p>This massive national project is estimated to cost between 18,000 and 18,500 crore rupees, with the central government funding around 9,280 crore rupees and state governments covering the rest. Individual city networks will cost between 800 crore and 1,300 crore rupees depending on the local infrastructure needs. Officials note that water metros are much faster and cheaper to build than traditional concrete metro rails. The Inland Waterways Authority of India is teaming up with Kochi Metro Rail Limited to execute the plan, which will also give a major boost to local tourism and waterfront development across the country.</p>
