India launches first hydrogen-powered train in clean energy push

India launched its first hydrogen-powered train on July 17, marking a milestone in its clean energy initiatives. The 10-coach train operates on an 89km route between Jind and Sonipat in Haryana, utilizing a 1,200-kilowatt hydrogen fuel cell propulsion system. Officials noted the system is among the world's most powerful for a train, though some key components were imported. The project, costing around $12 million, includes a large hydrogen storage and refueling facility. India joins several other nations testing hydrogen train technology. The move aligns with broader efforts to modernize India's extensive rail network and reduce reliance on fossil fuels.
