The Indian Railways has approved the introduction of a 10-car hydrogen fuel cell-based trainset on the dedicated Jind-Sonipat section in Haryana. The train is expected to begin operations soon, with a top speed of 75 kmph, powered by a 1,200-kilowatt hydrogen fuel cell system. The project strengthens India’s green mobility push, with the government positioning hydrogen as a cleaner alternative to reduce fossil fuel dependence and cut oil imports.
