In news from the green hydrogen space, NTPC and Amara Raja Batteries are among the top buzzing stocks today.

NTPC has awarded Amara Raja Power Systems a project to set up India's first green hydrogen fueling station in Leh, Ladakh.

The project aims to bring in emission-free transport in and around Leh with a plan to ply five hydrogen fuel cell buses in the region.

The project is being set up at a height of 3,600 meters above sea level with a temperature variation of - 14 degrees to +20° celsius.

The green hydrogen will be produced by splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen, using electrolysis process powered by electricity generated by renewable energy sources.

Note that there's a lot of hype surrounding the green hydrogen theme and big corporate companies are tapping into the space for the 'evergreen' opportunity.

Yesterday, the Adani group received funding from France's Total to acquire 25% in Adani New Industries.

Adani Enterprises and TotalEnergies of France will set up the world's largest green hydrogen and associated infrastructure at an investment of US$50 bn over the next ten years.

This is the fourth deal struck between the two entities in a span of last three years. In 2019, Total had bought a 37.4% stake in Adani Total Gas and last year, it spent US$2.5 bn acquiring 20% of Adani Green Energy, and a 50% stake in a portfolio of solar assets.

Mukesh Ambani's Reliance Industries also has big plans around green hydrogen.

It remains to be seen how things pan out in the green hydrogen space. Watch out for profitable opportunities from this space as Indian cashes in on this new age fuel.

Moving on to news from the telecom space, Bharti Airtel has launched India's first multiplex on the Partynite Metaverse platform.

The leading telecom service provider said Airtel's Xstream multiplex will be a 20-screen platform with access to content portfolios from leading OTT partners available on the application.

The multiplex will enable sampling of original shows and movies with content pieces such as the first episode of an OTT original or the initial minutes of a film in regional languages besides English and Hindi.

Note that shares of Bharti Airtel are on a downtrend lately even as the company reports market share gains.

The stock touched its 52-week high of Rs 781.9 on 24 November 2021 and a 52-week low of Rs 509.4 on 18 June 2021.

Bharti Airtel has reported sequential revenue market share gains in the March quarter, helped by sharp price hikes taken by the operator.

According to the TRAI data, the overall March quarter sectoral revenue rose 7% sequentially to Rs 519 bn, helped by the tariff hikes taken last November/December by all three telcos.
