hydrogen train

Marking a pivotal moment in sustainable transportation, India has unveiled its first hydrogen-powered DEMU train, boasting a sleek 10-coach design. Recently given the green light by the Railway Ministry, this innovative train will operate between Jind and Sonipat at a cruising speed of 75 kmph.

In a step towards green and sustainable transportation, Indian Railways has approved the introduction of a 10-car Hydrogen Fuel Cell-based trainset on the Jind-Sonipat section of Northern Railway.

Delhi Metro is boosting services with 24 extra train trips starting May 18 to encourage public transport use. Enhanced security, more ticket counters, and improved last-mile connectivity via e-autos and buses are also being implemented. The DMRC aims to reduce reliance on private vehicles, promoting sustainable urban mobility across Delhi-NCR.

Haryana is preparing for India's first hydrogen-powered train. The pilot project on the Jind to Sonipat route is in its final stages. A dedicated hydrogen plant is ready to fuel the train. This advanced train will offer a longer travel distance and a silent, comfortable journey for passengers. Preparations are complete, awaiting the final launch date from higher authorities.

Indian Railways is set to launch its first hydrogen train, with trial runs expected in December 2024. The project includes 35 trains and significant investments in ground infrastructure.

The world's longest hydrogen-powered broad-gauge train is set to begin operations in India soon. But can hydrogen deliver on its promise as the fuel of the future?

India's first hydrogen-powered train-set, the world's longest on broad gauge, has completed manufacturing, marking a significant step in cleaner rail mobility. This pilot project, developed indigenously, highlights India's commitment to self-reliance and sustainable transportation, with a supporting green hydrogen plant nearing completion.

Indian Railways is poised to launch its first hydrogen-powered train, marking a significant stride towards eco-friendly transportation. The inaugural service will run between Jind and Sonipat in Haryana, positioning India among the leading nations adopting hydrogen technology.

Fast-tracking the plan to roll out hydrogen trains, the Indian Railways is readying the proposal to float a tender for procuring 35 such green energy driven trains. Sources said the trains would cost around Rs 2,800 crore to the national transporter.

In a first in India, hydrogen-powered trains are expected to start from Haryana’s Jind district by the end of this year and first hydrogen plant of the country is being set up in the district, said Shobhan Chaudhry, general manager (GM) of Northern Railway, who visited the spot on Thursday.

In a groundbreaking achievement for sustainable transit, Indian Railways has unveiled its inaugural hydrogen-powered train. This pioneering 'Made in India' creation, the longest globally on a Broad Gauge, features a robust 10-coach design with a powerful output of 2,400 kW. With zero emissions, this innovation is a game changer for eco-friendly travel, paving the way for a cleaner, greener tomorrow.

Trains powered with hydrogen fuel cells don’t emit noxious gases, not even carbon dioxide. They will cut down global diesel consumption by millions of litres a day

Global helium supplies face a critical shortage due to Middle East tensions disrupting production and shipping. This invisible gas, vital for MRIs, semiconductors, and advanced tech, is irreplaceable and lost forever once released. India, heavily reliant on imports, sees soaring prices and potential disruptions in healthcare and its burgeoning chip industry.

India is preparing to launch its first 1,200-horsepower hydrogen-powered train in May, setting a global benchmark. This initiative, along with developments like the 9,000-horsepower locomotive, highlights India's advancements in sustainable and high-power railway technology.

Railways' ambitious projects include hydrogen trains, Vande Bharat, and safety tech, boosted by a record Rs 2.41 lakh crore budget.

BMW Group has begun testing the near-production prototype of hydrogen fuel cell-powered SUV through various conditions on European roads.
