India launches its first domestically built hydrogen-powered train, presented as “NaMo Green Rail” by some outlets, as part of efforts to modernize rail transport and reduce emissions. The train consists of hydrogen-powered driving cars and multiple passenger coaches, and it is deployed in the northern state of Haryana. Reporting across sources describes a route between Jind and Sonipat, covering about 89 km. The technology uses a hydrogen fuel cell propulsion system, cited as having a 1,200-kilowatt capacity, to power the train and provide a zero-emission alternative to diesel. Coverage also places the launch in a wider context of other countries testing hydrogen rail technology and of India’s goal to expand cleaner energy use across its large rail network. Officials frame the rollout as an initial step toward decarbonizing rail operations, with the train expected to operate on its scheduled route in Haryana.
