India's First Hydrogen-Powered Train Pilot Project

planned

Indian Railways has approved the introduction of a 10-car hydrogen fuel cell-powered trainset on the Jind-Sonipat section under Northern Railway in Haryana. The train operates using a 1200 KW hydrogen fuel cell propulsion system, producing only water vapor as emission. The project includes an indigenous hydrogen storage and refuelling facility at Jind with safety approvals and advanced safety systems installed. It is part of Indian Railways' plan to adopt cleaner technologies and reduce carbon emissions, aligning with India's green energy and net-zero goals.
