India's First Hydrogen Train: India is poised to create history in rail transport. PM Modi will flag off the country's first hydrogen train from Jind station on July 17. Preparations for the PM's arrival are currently underway at the station; the premises are being cleaned, track maintenance is being carried out, and mock drills are being conducted. Additionally, the Railways is giving the final finishing touches.

The hydrogen train has been stationed at the hydrogen depot adjacent to the station, where it is being washed and will be decorated with flowers prior to PM Modi's arrival. The 89-km Jind-Sonipat section was selected for this inaugural run, where the hydrogen train will operate at a speed of 75 km/h. This marks the first time a fuel other than electricity or coal is being used for train propulsion.

A hydrogen power plant has been constructed at Jind railway station to store the hydrogen fuel required for the train. At this plant, hydrogen will be extracted from water using electricity via the electrolysis process—producing "Green Hydrogen"—which will then react with oxygen to generate electricity; this electricity will power the fuel cells to drive the train's wheels.
