India launches first hydrogen-powered train built in the country to expand clean energy on railways
India has introduced its first domestically built hydrogen-powered train, which will operate in the northern state of Haryana as part of efforts to expand clean energy use in its rail network. The train, named “NaMo Green Rail,” uses hydrogen fuel cells and can carry up to 2,600 passengers at speeds of up to 75 kph. The initiative supports India’s goal of developing green hydrogen and reducing carbon emissions, with the country aiming for net-zero emissions by 2070. The project includes testing hydrogen storage and refueling infrastructure to explore the technology’s potential for broader rail use.
