India's First Hydrogen-Powered Train Launching in Haryana
India is getting its first hydrogen-powered train, and it will start running in Haryana soon.
The train will go between Jind and Sonipat.
A big plant in Jind makes hydrogen to power the train.
The plant needs lots of electricity, so the government is making sure the power doesn't stop.
The train is special because it's very powerful and uses hydrogen instead of regular fuel.
The Prime Minister might start the train service in January.
Everyone is working hard to make sure everything is ready.
India's first hydrogen-powered train to launch in Haryana, likely inaugurated by PM Modi in January.
Train will operate between Jind and Sonipat, powered by a 3,000 kg capacity hydrogen plant in Jind.
Rs 120-crore hydrogen plant produces hydrogen through electrolysis for the train's fuel.
Uninterrupted 11 KV power supply ensured for the plant's 24/7 operation.
Chief Secretary Anurag Rastogi reviewed the project, emphasizing regular power supply checks and backup arrangements.
