India's First Hydrogen Fuel Cell Train on Jind-Sonipat Route

planned

India launched its first hydrogen fuel cell train on the 89-km Jind-Sonipat route in Haryana. The train uses Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) fuel cells to generate electricity onboard, emitting only heat and water vapor. The project includes a dedicated hydrogen refueling facility at Jind station with electrolysis-based hydrogen production and storage capacity of nearly 3,000 kilograms. The train has 10 coaches with a capacity of about 2,600 passengers and is designed for a top speed of 110 kmph, initially operating at 75 kmph during the pilot phase to collect data on safety and efficiency.
