India Tests First Hydrogen-Powered Coach; Eyes Hydrogen Train Future

India has successfully tested its first hydrogen-powered coach, a major step in developing hydrogen trains.

This means that instead of using electricity or diesel, the train will run on hydrogen, which is a cleaner fuel.

The project involves a 1,200 HP hydrogen train, positioning India as a leader in this technology.

This is part of a larger plan called 'Hydrogen for Heritage,' aiming to run 35 hydrogen trains on heritage and hill routes.

The cost of this project is significant, with each train costing around ₹80 crore and infrastructure costing ₹70 crore per route.
