The launch of India’s first hydrogen-powered train marks a significant milestone in the country’s transition toward clean and sustainable transportation. Haryana has been selected for this pilot project, which will operate on the Jind–Sonipat route under Indian Railways. The initiative uses green hydrogen produced through electrolysis and aims to reduce carbon emissions by offering an alternative to diesel-powered trains on non-electrified routes. With a dedicated hydrogen plant set up at Jind and strong coordination between state and railway authorities, Haryana is playing a key role in advancing India’s green mobility and climate commitments.
