India is gearing up to introduce its first hydrogen-fuelled train, a pioneering initiative by the Ministry of Railways to promote sustainable and environmentally-friendly transportation. Manufactured by the Integral Coach Factory in Chennai, this hydrogen train represents a crucial milestone in India's journey towards zero-emission mobility. With a substantial investment of Rs 2,800 crore, India plans to roll out a total of 35 hydrogen fuel cell-based trains in the near future as part of its green energy initiatives. The General Manager at ICF, U Subba Rao, confirmed that work is underway on the flagship project, with hydrogen fuel cell coaches already in production. Notably, India has developed a powerful hydrogen train engine boasting 1,200 horsepower, surpassing similar trains globally. The inaugural hydrogen train will operate on the Jind-Sonipat route within Northern Railway's Delhi Division, showcasing India's commitment to technological advancement in the railway sector. By venturing into hydrogen rail technology, India joins a league of nations like Germany, France, China, and the UK that are embracing hydrogen-powered locomotives to modernize their rail networks and reduce carbon emissions.
