Why railways picked Jind-Sonipat route for its 1st hydrogen train
India has joined select nations operating hydrogen-powered trains with its first service.
The Jind-Sonipat route was chosen for its low traffic and infrastructure availability.
This 10-coach train is the longest of its kind globally.
It utilizes indigenous technology and a powerful fuel-cell propulsion system.
The service will eventually be extended to New Delhi.
