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.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi flagged off India's first hydrogen-powered train from Jind. This new train will operate between Jind and Sonipat, covering a distance of eighty-nine kilometers. The service is scheduled to run twice daily, with fares fixed at twenty-five rupees. The train can reach a maximum speed of seventy-five kilometers per hour. After the flagging-off ceremony, the Prime Minister addressed a public rally and inaugurated development projects.

Investigations have confirmed that at least forty students fell victim, although the toll may rise. The police have initiated a case and are probing the actions of the other partner as well.
