Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw announced during a panel discussion at the 18th Pravasi Bharatiya Divas in Bhubaneswar that Indian Railways has successfully manufactured the most potent hydrogen fuel-run train engine globally. With an impressive output of 1,200 horsepower, the engine outperforms those developed by other countries around the world. The minister highlighted that only four countries currently possess hydrogen-powered trains, with horsepower outputs ranging between 500 to 600, making India's achievement significant. The upcoming trial run of the hydrogen-powered train in Haryana marks a crucial milestone in India's pursuit of green energy technology. The engine, entirely manufactured in India, showcases the nation's capability to leverage indigenous talent for groundbreaking innovations in sustainable transportation. Ashwini Vaishnaw stressed that the development of the hydrogen-powered engine opens doors for potential applications in various sectors like trucks and tugboats. This technological advancement not only positions India as a leader in green energy adoption among major economies but also paves the way for derivative technologies. The Union Minister also underscored the importance of India's journey towards technological self-sufficiency and the need to strengthen the value chain for such advancements. The panel discussion at the event also saw Hambyarajen Narasinghaen from Mauritius seeking India's support in combating climate change through green technology solutions. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, at the same event, expressed his aspiration for Indians to ride trains manufactured entirely within the country, indicating a future driven by indigenous technological capabilities.
