India is set to enter the league of nations operating hydrogen-powered trains, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi scheduled to inaugurate the country's first such train at Jind Railway Station in Haryana on July 17. Powered by hydrogen fuel cells, the train produces electricity by combining hydrogen and oxygen, emitting only water vapour, making it a zero-emission and eco-friendly mode of transport. The train comprises two driving power cars and eight passenger coaches, with a seating capacity of 682 passengers and a total carrying capacity of around 2,600. It has successfully completed trial runs between Sonipat, Jind and New Delhi at speeds of 75–120 kmph. The train will operate on the Jind–Sonipat route, covering nearly 356 km daily through two round trips. Capable of travelling up to 1,000 km on a single hydrogen refill, it can also be refuelled in less than 20 minutes. With this launch, India joins countries such as Germany, Japan, China and the United States in adopting hydrogen-powered rail technology, marking a major step towards sustainable and cleaner transportation.
