India is set to take a major step towards greener rail transport, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi likely to flag off the country's first hydrogen-powered train from Jind railway station in Haryana on July 17, according to sources in the Railway Ministry.
The hydrogen train, which has successfully completed extensive trials over the past two-and-a-half months, is expected to begin commercial operations soon after the inauguration. Once operational, it will run on the Jind–Sonipat route, marking a significant milestone in Indian Railways' clean energy initiatives.
