Indian Railways has successfully completed the trial of India's first hydrogen fuel cell train, marking a major milestone in the country's transition toward clean and sustainable transportation. The trial was conducted on the Delhi–Jind section, where the train underwent extensive testing for safety, braking, vibration, and emergency performance. Powered by a 1,200 kW hydrogen fuel cell system, the 10-coach train can reach speeds of up to 75 km/h while producing only water vapor instead of harmful emissions. A state-of-the-art hydrogen storage and refueling station has also been established in Jind with advanced safety systems and continuous monitoring. If the pilot project proves successful, Indian Railways plans to expand hydrogen-powered train services to other routes, joining countries like Germany, Japan, China, and the United States in adopting hydrogen rail technology.

At a press conference held in New Delhi’s Rail Bhawan, Ashwini Vaishnav, the Union Railway Minister said that the most-awaited hydrogen train – the first for India, will get manufactured by the year-end of 2023, and operate on heritage circuits of Kalka-Shimla and others. The train will also run on other routes and places in time. The Union Railway Minister also assured that PM Modi’s vision of representing cultural heritage through trains will see the light of day as well.

Thus, new circuits are going to be added to the list, such as the Gurukripa circuit. In the last month itself at the Northern Railway workshop, he also had conveyed that a prototype of the train to run on hydrogen fuel was under development. It will test-run in Haryana’s Sonipat-Jind section. Shri. Vaishnav said that from December 2023, the hydrogen trains would be rolled out on heritage routes, which means that these routes will be eco-friendly and completely green.

Referring back to Budget 2023, he said that such developments in trains will act as a growth engine for the nation. Ashwini Vaishnav appreciated the allocation of Rs. 2.41 lakh crore toward Indian Railways by the Finance Minister. According to him, this is a big change for railways and will meet the aspirations of passengers. The Railway Minister believed that the Indian Railways is expanding every year.

1275 stations have been already re-developed under the Amrit Bharat Station scheme. Also, the Vande Bharat trains and their production are set to be revamped. Ashwini Vaishnav added that 3 kilometers of track used to be laid every day before 2014. This has increased to 12 kilometers of track every day in the current year, and the next year’s target is to achieve 16 kilometers of track per day.

The Railway Minister of India said that manufacturing of the Vande Bharat trains will take place in Latur, Maharashtra, Rae Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh, and Sonipat, Haryana. And this shall serve as a step toward fulfilling the dream of PM Narendra Modi of connecting every corner of India through Vande Bharat trains. He said that the Uttar Pradesh railway section is also making great progress on the Bullet Train.
