Prime Minister Narendra Modi will flag off India's first hydrogen-powered train from Haryana's Jind on Friday, marking India's entry into a select group of nations exploring hydrogen for cleaner rail transportation. 

The hydrogen train, which will run between Jind and Sonipat, is a major achievement as the project reflects Indian Railways' broader commitment to innovation, energy efficiency and environmentally sustainable transportation, and supports India's national clean energy and net-zero carbon emission goals.
