Indian Railways' hydrogen-powered train, planned under the Hydrogen for Heritage initiative, is meant to run on the Jind-Sonipat route in Haryana.
Hydrogen trains use fuel cells that combine hydrogen and oxygen to produce electricity, emitting only water.
The project supports India's push for green hydrogen and cleaner rail traction.

How the exam will ask it
ಪ್ರಿಲಿಮ್ಸ್
- A hydrogen fuel cell generates electricity through the electrochemical combination of hydrogen and oxygen, with water as the only by-product.
- The hydrogen train under the 'Hydrogen for Heritage' initiative is planned on the Jind-Sonipat section in Haryana.
- Green hydrogen is produced by electrolysis of water using renewable energy.
ಮೇನ್ಸ್
GS3 (Infrastructure, Energy): Railways remain a large diesel consumer, so decarbonising traction matters for climate goals. Hydrogen fuel-cell trains, backed by the green hydrogen push, offer zero tailpipe emissions on non-electrified or heritage routes. The way forward lies in cutting green hydrogen costs, building refuelling infrastructure and scaling renewable-powered electrolysis.
