India's first hydrogen-powered train coach successfully tested at ICF Chennai
(Image: X/@AshwiniVaishnaw) New Delhi: Indian Railways has successfully tested the country's First hydrogen-powered coach at the Integral Coach Factory (ICF) in Chennai. This was announced by Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw on Friday, 25 July. According to the minister's social media X post, the country is working on a 1,200-horsepower hydrogen train, which will help India to place itself amongst the leaders in hydrogen-powered train technology. 'First Hydrogen powered coach (Driving Power Car) successfully tested at ICF, Chennai. India is developing 1,200 HP Hydrogen train. This will place India among the leaders in Hydrogen powered train technology,' Vaishnaw posted on 'X'. Vaishnaw had informed Rajya Sabha in 2023 that Indian Railways has envisaged running 35 Hydrogen trains under 'Hydrogen for Heritage' at an estimated cost of Rs 80 crore per train and ground infrastructure of Rs 70 crore per route on various heritage and hill routes. Additionally, the Indian Railways has also awarded a pilot project for retrofitment of a Hydrogen Fuel cell on an existing Diesel Electric Multiple Unit (DEMU) rake along with ground infrastructure at the cost of Rs 111.83 crores, which is planned to be run on the Jind-Sonipat section of Northern Railway. The running cost of a Hydrogen fuel-based train is not established in IR scenario. It is estimated that the initial running cost of the Hydrogen fuel train set will be higher, which will subsequently reduce with an increase in the number of trains. Further, the use of Hydrogen as fuel provides larger benefits in the direction of green transportation technology to support zero carbon emission goals as a clean energy source. Last year, in a significant step towards promoting sustainable transportation solutions, Hardeep Singh Puri, Minister of Petroleum & Natural Gas, showcased India's advancements in green hydrogen mobility by demonstrating a hydrogen-fuelled bus powered by India's oil PSU Indian Oil to the Prime Minister of Bhutan, Tshering Tobgay and his delegation.

RBI's 7-day VRRR receives significant demand due to reversal of ₹2 trillion
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) received bids worth Rs. 1.42 trillion against a notified amount of Rs. 1.25 trillion at the seven-day Variable Rate Reverse Repo (VRRR) auction on Friday. The significant demand at the auction was driven by the previous week's reversal of Rs. 2 trillion that banks had parked with the RBI. The central bank accepted the notified amount at a cut-off rate of 5.49 per cent. 'The demand was there because of the reversal of Rs. 2 trillion,' said a dealer at a state-owned bank. 'Given that money market rates have softened again, VRRR auctions are expected to continue,' he added. The RBI had conducted two variable rate repo (VRR) auctions during the week after overnight money market rates rose above the repo rate. The RBI's two-day VRR auction, conducted on Wednesday, led to a decline in overnight money market rates, which had been trading above the MSF rate of 5.75 per cent. The marginal standing facility rate, set 25 bps above the policy repo rate, is the ceiling of the liquidity adjustment facility corridor. The standing deposit facility, which is 25 bps below the repo rate, is the floor. The policy repo rate is currently at 5.5 per cent. Market participants said that the fine-tuning via VRR auctions became necessary due to the large withdrawal during a week of liquidity stress. Next week, the RBI may not need a VRR, as government spending typically picks up in the last week of the month, they said. 'We don't expect more VRRs now, but a similar situation could arise around September 15 during tax outflows. The RBI might come back with VRR again around that time,' said a dealer at a primary dealership.
