Indian Railways Plans Hydrogen Train Trials for 2025
Indian Railways plans to start field trials for its first hydrogen-fueled train by January 2025, with a prototype ready by December 2024. Diesel locomotives will be retrofitted into hydrogen fuel cell-based units. Successful trials could lead to 35 hydrogen train sets. TÜV SÜD is handling safety certifications. This initiative aims for net-zero carbon emissions by 2030.
