Bharat 1st Hydrogen-Powered Passenger Train 🚆 PM Modi flagged off India’s first hydrogen-powered passenger train on the 89 km Jind–Sonipat route in Haryana. Developed by Integral Coach Factory Chennai, the train uses Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) fuel cells to generate electricity from hydrogen and oxygen, emitting only water vapour... and heat. The 10 coach train has 2 Hydrogen Driving Power Cars and 8 trailer coaches, carrying around 2,600 passengers. Each power car produces 1,200 kW, giving a combined output of 2,400 kW (3,200 hp). The train is designed for 110 km/h but will initially operate at 75 km/h. India has also commissioned the country’s largest railway hydrogen refuelling facility at Jind, with 3,000 kg hydrogen storage and on-site green hydrogen production. The train features advanced safety systems, including hydrogen leak detection, automatic shut-off mechanisms, continuous ventilation, and certification to NFPA-2, ISO 19880, and TUV SUD standards. Indian Railways plans to expand hydrogen train operations, including on heritage routes such as Kalka-Shimla, supporting the National Green Hydrogen Mission and India’s Net Zero goals.show more
