Indian Railways Plans to Operate Hydrogen Train at 110 Kmph After Trials
Indian Railways is working to increase the operational speed of its first hydrogen-powered train to 110 kmph after completing successful trials at 120 kmph. Currently running at 75 kmph on the 89-km Jind-Sonipat route in Haryana, the train generates electricity onboard through a chemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen, producing only water vapor and heat. The Railways are consulting stakeholders to select suitable routes and ensure hydrogen fuel supply. Additionally, 11 more Vande Bharat sleeper trains are expected this year under a public-private partnership model.
