Mumbai: India’s first hydrogen train — an indigenous 10‑coach model that emits only water vapour — successfully travelled over 1,200 kilometres while saving over 3,200 litres of diesel consumption, an official statement said on Saturday. The hydrogen train generates electricity onboard through a chemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen and emits only water vapour as.
Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Sukhvinder Sukhu announced on Monday that the state government has asked the Ministry of Railways to consider converting the Kalka-Shimla UNESCO World Heritage train to operate on green hydrogen. In his letter to Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw, he emphasized the state’s vision to transform this historic railway line into a route.
