Question

TodaySprint · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is Option B: Jind, Haryana. Prime Minister Narendra Modi flagged off India’s first hydrogen-powered train from Jind, Haryana, on 17 July 2026. The indigenous hydrogen-powered train operates on the 89-km Jind–Sonipat route and uses hydrogen fuel cell technology. Hydrogen fuel cells generate electrical energy through an electrochemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen, producing water vapour as the only direct by-product. The train was developed by the Integral Coach Factory (ICF), Chennai, under the Make in India and Atmanirbhar Bharat initiatives. Each driving power car is equipped with a 1,200-kW hydrogen fuel cell propulsion system, giving the train a combined output of 2,400 kW. Indian Railways has established a dedicated hydrogen storage and refuelling facility at Jind for operating the train. The project is part of the Hydrogen for Heritage initiative launched by Indian Railways in 2023 to deploy hydrogen-powered trains. Germany, Japan, China, and the United States are among the countries that already operate hydrogen-powered trains.
