New & Renewable Energy Minister Pralhad Joshi connected Thursday (December 11, 2025) hailed the instauration of hydrogen Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEVs) arsenic a transformative measurement successful shaping India's cleanable future.
Mr. Joshi drove a hydrogen substance compartment electrical car, Mirai, manufactured by Japanese automaker Toyota, to the Parliament to showcase precocious hydrogen mobility.
"Drove the Toyota Mirai, powered by hydrogen, to the Parliament. The thrust was incredibly smooth, soundless and comfortable, and with zero emissions, this conveyance demonstrates the transformative imaginable of hydrogen mobility successful shaping India's cleanable future," Mr. Joshi said successful a station connected X.

He said the collaboration, on with the handover of Toyota's Mirai hydrogen substance compartment electrical conveyance for real-world testing, brings innovation, manufacture expertise and technological rigour unneurotic to beforehand India's cleanable vigor transition.
Calling the instauration of Toyota's Mirai FCEV a caller section for sustainable mobility, the Minister said the sanction Mirai, meaning 'Future' successful Japanese, symbolises India's aspiration for a clean, greenish and sustainable mobility ecosystem.

The National Institute of Solar Energy (NISE) volition undertake a broad real-world valuation nether a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed with Toyota connected the usage of hydrogen successful the mobility sector.
Under the MoU, the NISE volition behaviour an extended appraisal of Mirai successful divers roadworthy conditions, including heat, dust, postulation congestion and varied terrain.
He highlighted that hydrogen substance compartment vehicles are clean, soundless and emission-free, emitting lone water, and that substance compartment technologies are progressively powering cars, buses, trucks, trains, ships and stationary powerfulness systems worldwide.
Hydrogen mobility is acceptable and well-suited for India's conditions, Mr. Joshi said.
Speaking astatine the occasion, Union Minister of State for New & Renewable Energy Shripad Yesso Naik said real-world investigating of FCEV technology, specified arsenic the Toyota Mirai, demonstrates India's accelerated question from argumentation to experimentation and further towards commercialisation of hydrogen-based mobility solutions.
