India's first hydrogen train to run on THIS route; not Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Bengaluru, Chennai, the route is...
India's first hydrogen train is expected to launch by the end of 2025. (Representational) In a giant leap towards sustainable eco-friendly transportation, the Indian Railways has successfully completed the trial run of the country's first hydrogen train, which runs on hydrogen fuel cell technology, making it highly beneficial to the environment. The trial run took place at the Integral Coach Factory (ICF) in Chennai, which has also developed indigenously developed the technology, according to Union Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw. The minister said that with completion of the test run, India has joined the select list of countries like Sweden, Germany, China and France, which have developed hydrogen fuel technology, adding that the country is now working to a build a 12oo horsepower (hp) hydrogen train. Which route will hydrogen train run on? According to details, during the trial run, the hydrogen-powered train traveled a distance of 89 km on the Jind-Sonipat rail section of Haryana, and it is believed that the eight-coach non-AC hydrogen train will commercially run on this Northern Railway route before the end of this year. The trains will have hydrogen-powered cars on both ends and ICF is preparing to deliver the first hydrogen locomotive by August 31, 2025. The train will run at an average speed of 110 km/h. How much will hydrogen train cost? In 2023, Vaishnaw had informed the Rajya Sabha that Railways Ministry plans to operate 35 hydrogen trains on heritage and hilly routes under the Hydrogen for Heritage initiative at a cost of around Rs 80 crore per train, while Rs 70 crore will be spent on preparing ground infrastructure in plain and hilly areas. The ministry has set aside a budget of Rs 2800 crore for the project, the minister had said. The current pilot project has a total cost of Rs 111.83 crore. Why hydrogen trains are the future? Hydrogen trains are extremely energy efficient and environment friendly when compared to conventional diesel and electric locomotives. Unlike traditional train sets, a hydrogen-powered train does not emit harmful gases like carbon dioxide as it uses hydrogen fuel cell technology to generate electricity which powers the train. The only byproducts of this chemical process are water and steam, which are completely harmless to the environment.

Indian seafood exporters set to seize larger share of UK market, go global: Govt
New Delhi: With India's vast production capacity, skilled manpower and improved traceability systems, the India-UK trade pact enables domestic exporters to seize a larger share of the UK market and diversify beyond traditional partners like the US and China, the government said on Saturday. The Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA), signed in the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his UK counterpart Keir Starmer, marks a turning point for India's fisheries sector not just by offering duty-free access to a premium market but also by uplifting coastal livelihoods, enhancing industry revenues, and strengthening India's reputation as a reliable supplier of high-quality, sustainable seafood. "For fisherfolk, processors, and exporters alike, this is a unique opportunity to step onto a larger global stage. This agreement contributes meaningfully to India's broader goal of becoming a global leader in sustainable marine trade," said the Ministry of Fisheries, Animal Husbandry and Dairying in a statement. Indian seafood now competes on par with countries like Vietnam and Singapore, which already benefit from FTAs with the UK (UK-VFTA) and UK-Singapore Free Trade Agreement (UK-SFTA), respectively. This levels the playing field and removes tariff disadvantages that Indian exporters previously faced, especially for high-value products like shrimp and value-added goods, said the ministry. CETA offers zero-duty access on 99 per cent of tariff lines and opens up key services sectors. Notably, for the marine sector, the agreement removes import tariffs on a wide range of seafood products, enhancing Indian exporters' competitiveness in the UK market. This is expected to particularly benefit exports of shrimp, frozen fish, and value-added marine products, boosting India's presence in one of its major seafood destinations alongside labour-intensive sectors like textiles, leather, and gems and jewellery. India's total seafood exports in 2024–25 reached $7.38 billion (Rs 60,523 crore), amounting to 1.78 million metric tonnes. Frozen shrimp remained the top export, accounting for 66 per cent of earnings with $4.88 billion. Marine exports to the UK specifically were valued at $104 million (Rs 879 crore), with frozen shrimp alone contributing $80 million (77 per cent). The key seafood exports to the UK currently include Vannamei shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei), frozen squid, lobsters, frozen pomfret, and black tiger shrimp - all of which are expected to gain further market share under CETA's duty-free access, according to the government.
