India will debut a hydrogen-powered train on the next I-Day

According to Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw, India would debut its first hydrogen-powered train on the next Independence Day. The train was planned, produced, and constructed domestically. The next big thing will be when the hydrogen-powered train is introduced on August 15, 2023, according to the minister for railways, communication, electronics, and IT. India has been able to develop trains that are among the greatest in the world.

Germany introduced the first hydrogen-powered train last month. An environmentally beneficial fuel is this gas. The minister mentioned that one of the Integral Coach Factory (ICF), Chennai, trains was recently discovered to be among the top five trains in the world during the event on Thursday.

He claimed that it moved at a 180 km/h speed that astounded everyone. On a number of factors, this train is superior to all other trains. Even when the train is moving at its top speed, a glass of water maintained in the driver's cabin remains unbroken, proving steadiness, Vaishnaw added. On a number of factors, this train is superior to all other trains.

He remarked of the Vande Bharat Express train that it took only 52 seconds to go from zero speed to 100 km/h, as opposed to 55 seconds for the legendary Bullet train of Japan. Vaishnaw claimed that Prime Minister Narendra Modi had instructed the engineers to create trains of the highest calibre, which should also be stable, safe, and energy efficient.

A satellite map had been created to identify 132 district headquarters towns that need railway connectivity, and attention was also being paid to the hygiene of railway stations. The railway minister stated that work was currently being done on the Detailed Project Report for the same.

According to him, the current Indian train punctuality rate is around 89%, and it needs to increase to 100%.
