Indian Railways is working to operate the country's first hydrogen-powered train at up to 110 kmph after completing trials at 120 kmph. Railway Board Chairman Satish Kumar said consultations were underway to finalise routes, technical arrangements and fuel supply systems
India's first indigenous hydrogen fuel cell train successfully completed a 1,200-km trial, saving more than 3,200 litres of diesel. The Ministry of Railways said the zero-emission train showcases India's technological capabilities and strengthens its push towards sustainable rail transport
The indigenous innovation places India among a select group of nations with hydrogen fuel-cell technology, but its wider rollout will depend on overcoming cost, supply and infrastructure challenges
India will enter the hydrogen-powered rail era as Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurates the first hydrogen fuel cell trainset. The 10-coach train will run on the Jind-Sonipat route, using green hydrogen technology with zero direct emissions and advanced safety systems
