India launches first hydrogen-powered train built in the country to expand clean energy on railways
The 10-coach pilot can carry about 2,600 passengers and emits only water vapor as India tests hydrogen rail technology on a non-electrified route.
- India launched its first indigenously built hydrogen-powered train called 'NaMo Green Rail' in Haryana, operating between Jind and Sonipat with a 1200 kW hydrogen fuel cell system, carrying about 2,600 passengers at speeds up to 75 km/h.
- The train produces electricity through a chemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen, emitting only water vapor and heat as emissions, making it a clean alternative to diesel locomotives.
- Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the train during a broader initiative to expand clean energy use in Indian Railways and to work towards net-zero emissions, with India aiming for net-zero by 2070.
