Sabarmati was the location where India’s first LNG-powered train was flagged off on September 27, 2026. The train operates using an LNG-diesel dual-fuel system, allowing LNG to replace up to 40% of diesel consumption. Two Driving Power Cars, each with a power capacity of 1,400 HP, were converted for this technology. The train underwent field trials covering more than 2,000 kilometres before its introduction. The initiative aims to reduce diesel consumption and fuel costs while supporting cleaner railway operations through the use of alternative fuel technology.
