India will launch its first hydrogen-powered train by March 31, 2025, on the Jind-Sonipat route in Haryana. This train will cover 89 km and is part of India's efforts to promote sustainable transport and reduce carbon emissions. The train features a 1,200-horsepower hydrogen fuel engine, making it more powerful than similar trains in Germany and China. It can reach speeds of 110 km/h and will accommodate over 2,500 passengers. The project is part of the "Hydrogen for Railways" initiative, with plans for 35 hydrogen trains and necessary infrastructure. Following this pilot, a larger program called "Hydrogen for Heritage" will introduce trains on scenic routes across India.
