Indian Railways Plans to Extend Hydrogen Train Service from Jind-Sonepat to Delhi
India's first indigenous hydrogen-powered train, operating since July 17 on the 89-km Jind-Sonepat section in Haryana, has seen low passenger turnout of 40 to 60 per trip despite a 2,600-passenger capacity. Initially planned for two daily trips, it now runs only one return trip. Indian Railways is considering extending the service to Azadpur Station in Delhi to access a larger commuter base. Experts are monitoring operations and conducting trial runs before deciding on the extension, prioritizing passenger safety.
