The car, which is part of a pilot project for promoting green energy, can reportedly cover 600 kilometres on a full tank, which works out to a mere Rs 2 per kilometre.</p>
<p>
Visuals show the Minister sitting in the front seat of the car next to the driver. The white coloured car has a green number plate which is used in electric vehicles as well.&nbsp;</p>
<p>
&quot;Green Hydrogen – An efficient, eco-friendly and sustainable energy pathway to make India &#39;Energy Self-reliant&#39;,&quot; Mr Gadkari said in a tweet.</p>
<p>
Mr Gadkari, who is a strong advocate of renewable energy, had earlier this month launched India&#39;s first hydrogen-based advanced &quot;Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle (FCEV)&quot; – Toyota Mirai. He had also shared a video of how green hydrogen can power a car.</p>
<p>
The Minister had announced in January that he would himself use a hydrogen-powered car. &quot;Toyota Company from Japan has given me a vehicle which runs on green Hydrogen. I will use it myself as a pilot project on alternative fuel,&quot; he had said.</p>
