The Integral Coach Factory (ICF) in Chennai is about to unveil the first of 35 hydrogen-powered trains in India. The country's Minister of Railways, Ashwini Vaishnaw, announced the launch of the first hydrogen train service to be operational by May. The Indian Railways has allocated Rs2,800 crore for the development of these 35 hydrogen fuel cell-based trains. This initiative aims to reduce India's reliance on fossil fuels and contribute to environmental sustainability. The hydrogen train, with a 1,200 HP engine, is a global leader in capacity, surpassing engines in other nations. The train will initially run on the Jind–Sonipat section of the Delhi Division. India joins countries like Germany, France, China, and the UK in adopting hydrogen rail technology. The Research Design and Standards Organisation (RDSO) in India developed the specifications for these trains, showcasing the country's technological prowess. The fuel cells in the trains generate electricity through a clean process, producing water vapour as the only byproduct. The Indian Railways is also working on an integrated hydrogen production-storage-dispensation facility for the seamless operation of these trains.
