India's Pioneering Hydrogen Train Nears Service Debut

India’s first hydrogen train moves closer to service 🇮🇳🚆

The Railway Board has approved a 10-car hydrogen fuel-cell DEMU trainset for the Jind–Sonipat section in Haryana, with a maximum approved speed of 75 km/h.

The trainset is technically interesting for its scale: two 1,200 kW driving power cars, eight passenger cars and a total output of 2,400 kW. Indian Railways describes it as the world’s longest and most powerful hydrogen trainset on a broad-gauge platform.

At the train, the system produces no CO2 emissions — only water vapour. The wider climate impact will depend on how the hydrogen is produced, but the project is still an important step in testing hydrogen traction on Indian Railways.
