Modi flags off India’s first hydrogen-powered train emitting only water vapour
On Friday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will flag off India’s first hydrogen-powered train from Haryana’s Jind railway station. The 10-coach train, featuring advanced safety systems like automatic shut-off and continuous ventilation, operates between Jind and Sonipat without overhead wires. It generates electricity through a PEM fuel cell, emitting only water vapour and heat. A dedicated facility in Jind stores hydrogen for the train’s use, marking India's adoption of clean rail technology.
