Tata Motors has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with V.O. Chidambaranar Port Authority in Tuticorin, Tamil Nadu, to deploy 40 hydrogen-powered prime movers for cargo transport. The project will commence with trials of one hydrogen-powered truck, followed by phased deployment over two years.

The Ministry of Ports, Shipping and Waterways will fund the initiative. Plans include establishing a 2 MW electrolyzer and a hydrogen refueling station to support the deployment. This move aims to decarbonize cargo handling and promote sustainable logistics at the port.
