India may have hydrogen-powered trains by Dec this year

Union Minister for Railways Ashwini Vaishnaw recently informed that the nation will roll out its first domestically designed and built hydrogen-powered train by December 2023.
“We are designing and the design should be out anywhere by May or June,” Ashwini Vaishnaw told reporters during a visit to the southern city of Bengaluru.
According to reports, the hydrogen-powered train will be called Vande Metro and will be manufactured in large numbers with an objective to replace the trains built in the 1950s and 60s. Currently, most of the trains in India are powered by diesel or electricity.
