Hydrogen Train का सच: भारत की नई तकनीक कितनी सफल? | Ravindra Gupta, Retd DG Safety Railway Board

Join this channel to get access to perks:    / @newsstation   India has taken a significant step towards exploring alternative energy in rail transport with its hydrogen-powered train. But how does hydrogen fuel-cell technology actually work? Why is this technology important for Indian Railways, and what could be its role in India’s future energy and fuel policy? In this special News Station podcast, Siddharatha, Editor, The News Station Network, speaks with Ravindra Gupta, former DG Safety, Railway Board, who brings extensive experience in railway safety, technology, rolling stock and alternative-fuel initiatives. The conversation explores the technology behind hydrogen fuel cells, the 3,200-horsepower hydrogen power system, battery-fuel-cell integration, Make in India, imported components, hydrogen safety, and the differences between grey, blue and green hydrogen. The discussion also addresses some of the biggest questions surrounding India’s hydrogen train experiment: Is hydrogen really economical? Why run a hydrogen train on an electrified route? What can India learn from Germany and other countries? Can hydrogen become part of India’s national fuel mix? And could hydrogen technology eventually be used on heritage and non-electrified railway routes? Ravindra Gupta explains why such experiments should not be viewed merely as a one-time showcase, but as an opportunity to generate operational data, develop an ecosystem, encourage industry participation and shape India’s long-term energy strategy. Watch the full conversation to understand the technology, challenges, opportunities and future possibilities of hydrogen-powered railways in India. 🎙️ Host: Siddharatha, Editor, The News Station Network 🎤 Guest: Ravindra Gupta, Retd.
