The hydrogen train speed is anticipated to reach a maximum speed of 140 km/h, delivering a fast, eco-friendly, and comfortable ride for passengers. Each hydrogen fuel tank will enable the train to travel up to 1,000 kilometers before needing to refuel, making it ideal for longer routes down the line.

Each hydrogen train is expected to cost approximately Rs 80 crore to develop. Significant infrastructure upgrades, including hydrogen storage facilities and dedicated refuelling stations, are being implemented to support its operation.
