India has taken a giant leap towards the future of clean transportation. Indian Railways' first indigenous hydrogen-powered train has successfully completed its final high-speed trial on the Jind-Sonipat route in Haryana, touching 120 kmph. Unlike conventional trains, it runs without diesel and without overhead electric wires, using hydrogen fuel-cell technology that produces electricity with water vapour as the only direct emission. The project also features a dedicated hydrogen production, storage and refuelling ecosystem, along with advanced safety systems. Developed under the vision of Atmanirbhar Bharat, the hydrogen train marks a major milestone in India's green mobility journey. Here's everything you need to know about how the train works, why it matters, and how it could transform the future of Indian Railways.
