Indian Railways is gearing up to test the nation's inaugural hydrogen-powered train on the Jind-Sonipat route in Haryana, with trials anticipated to commence in January 2025. Developed by the Integral Coach Factory in Tamil Nadu, the hydrogen train will utilize advanced fuel cells to generate electricity through the combination of hydrogen and oxygen, producing only water vapor as emissions. With a top speed of 140 km/h, this technology supports Indian Railways' objective of achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2030, serving as an eco-friendly alternative to traditional diesel trains. The project entails a significant investment of Rs 80 crore per train, alongside Rs 70 crore for ground infrastructure improvements. Furthermore, Indian Railways is venturing into hydrogen-based maintenance vehicles and retrofitting existing trains with hydrogen fuel cells. Safety is a top priority, with a third-party safety assessment being conducted by Germany's TUV-SUD. The benefits of hydrogen trains include zero carbon emissions, reduced air pollution, and the advancement of green transportation technologies. If successful, Indian Railways plans to expand this technology to more routes by 2025, marking a pivotal milestone in India's transportation sector's transition towards sustainability and eco-friendliness.
