India debuts hydrogen-powered train as part of sustainability drive

Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated India's first domestically built hydrogen-powered train, named 'NaMo Green Rail'. The 10-coach train runs a 90km route between Jind and Sonipat, carrying about 2,600 passengers at speeds up to 75km/h. It emits only heat and water vapor, providing a diesel alternative. India joins a handful of countries operating zero-emission hydrogen trains, aiming for net-zero railways by 2030.
