India Launches First LNG-Powered Train to Cut Diesel Use and Carbon Emissions
Indian Railways has introduced the country's first liquefied natural gas (LNG) powered train, marking a significant step in its sustainability drive. The locomotive operates on a dual-fuel system, with LNG replacing approximately 40 percent of diesel consumption. A single full tank of LNG can power the train for around 1,600 kilometres, reducing the need for frequent refuelling stops. This initiative follows India's earlier introduction of a hydrogen-powered train and reflects the national transporter's broader commitment to reducing carbon emissions. The move signals a continued shift by Indian Railways toward cleaner and more sustainable energy alternatives.
