India's First Hydrogen-Powered Train

planned

India's first indigenous hydrogen-powered train is a 10-car hydrogen fuel cell-based trainset developed entirely in India. It is powered by a 1200 kW hydrogen fuel cell propulsion system and is approved to operate at a maximum speed of 75 kmph with a design speed of 110 kmph. The train has a capacity of around 2,600 passengers and will run on the Jind-Sonipat section of the Northern Railway. The project includes dedicated hydrogen storage, refuelling, and operational infrastructure, including the country's largest railway hydrogen storage and refuelling facility at Jind, Haryana, which stores nearly 3,000 kg of hydrogen. The project aims to demonstrate the feasibility of clean rail transportation in India and supports the National Green Hydrogen Mission and net-zero carbon emission goals.
