Indian Railways is set to introduce the country’s first hydrogen-powered train by March 31, 2025, on the Jind-Sonipat route in Haryana. This initiative is part of India's push for sustainable and eco-friendly transport, aiming to reduce carbon emissions and promote clean energy. The hydrogen train will operate with a 1,200-horsepower hydrogen fuel engine, making it more powerful than similar trains in Germany and China. It can reach speeds of 110 km/h and accommodate over 2,500 passengers, with two extra coaches dedicated to hydrogen storage. The train will produce only water vapor as a byproduct, resulting in zero carbon emissions and lower noise pollution. The project is part of the 'Hydrogen for Railways' initiative, with a goal to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2030. The government has allocated Rs 2,800 crore for developing 35 hydrogen-powered trains and necessary infrastructure. Following this pilot project, Indian Railways plans to launch the 'Hydrogen for Heritage' program, deploying 35 hydrogen trains on scenic and heritage railway routes like the Matheran Hill Railway and Kalka-Shimla Railway. This initiative showcases India's commitment to sustainable transportation and clean energy solutions, aligning with global efforts in eco-friendly railway development.
