Maruti Suzuki chairman sees hydrogen as ’interesting alternative’

Live Mint  

The use of hydrogen power for mobility is an "interesting alternative" for India, especially as it would reduce dependence on lithium imports, the chairman of Maruti Suzuki, India's top-selling carmaker, said on Monday. To reduce fuel consumption and emissions, Maruti is pushing sales of cars that operate on compressed natural gas, and is also investing in hybrid technology, he said, adding that "the use of hydrogen is also an interesting alternative". Suzuki Motor Corp, which controls Maruti, is also prioritising development of clean technologies suitable for the Indian market, Bhargava said, adding that Suzuki's alliance with Toyota Motor Corp in Japan would prove valuable for this effort. Bhargava's comments come as debate around EVs is gathering steam in India, with Tesla Inc lobbying the government to lower import duties on electric cars.
