India Launches First Hydrogen-Powered Train On In Haryana; Major Push To Clean Rail Tech

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on July 17 flagged off India’s first hydrogen-powered train from Jind in Haryana, marking a major step towards clean and sustainable rail transport. The train will run on the 89-kilometre Jind to Sonipat route under Northern Railway, strengthening regional connectivity while introducing a zero-emission travel solution.The hydrogen-powered train uses fuel cell technology to convert hydrogen into electricity, with water vapour as the only by-product. This makes it a cleaner alternative to diesel-powered trains and aligns with India’s push towards reducing carbon emissions in the transport sector.
