India first hydrogen train is set to make history as Haryana prepares to launch the country’s first hydrogen-powered railway service between Jind and Sonipat. The project marks a major step toward clean and sustainable transport in India.
The India first hydrogen train will operate under Northern Railway and is now in the final stage of preparation. Authorities have ensured a stable 11 kV power supply for the hydrogen plant in Jind, which will fuel the train during commissioning and daily operations.
Chief Secretary Anurag Rastogi recently reviewed power arrangements in a hybrid meeting with Dakshin Haryana Bijli Vitran Nigam officials. He stressed the need for regular system reviews, strong backup plans and quick response mechanisms to prevent any disruption.
The hydrogen plant in Jind, the largest in the country, has a storage capacity of 3,000 kilograms and will run round the clock. Officials highlighted that uninterrupted, high-quality power remains essential for smooth operations.
DHBVN assured the state government of stable supply, enhanced monitoring and rapid maintenance support. Northern Railway officials expressed satisfaction with the power quality. Senior officers, including DHBVN Managing Director Vikram Yadav, attended the meeting, reinforcing the government’s commitment to this landmark green transport initiative.
