PM to flag off India’s first hydrogen train: How they work, and why they haven’t picked pace globally
Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate India’s first hydrogen-powered train in Jind, Haryana, on July 17, marking a significant advancement for Indian Railways in green technology. This train, featuring eight passenger cars and two driving power cars, can carry 682 passengers over an 89-km route at a maximum speed of 75 km/h, consuming approximately 300 kg of hydrogen per day. Despite its potential, hydrogen train technology has seen limited global adoption, with only a few countries successfully implementing it so far.
