MCT Brattberg Powers India's First Hydrogen-Powered Train

India’s first hydrogen-powered train is ready — marking a major milestone in sustainable rail transport. As reported by The Times of India, the train will soon begin operations between Jind and Sonipat in Haryana, making India the fifth country in the world to deploy hydrogen-train technology.

MCT Brattberg is proud to be part of this pioneering project. Our multi-cable and pipe transits have been installed to ensure maximum safety, reliability, and environmental protection in this new generation of zero-emission rolling stock. Designed to maintain integrity against fire, gas, and water ingress, our transit systems play a critical role in securing the onboard infrastructure of hydrogen-powered systems.

“This project represents a breakthrough for India’s hydrogen and rail sectors alike,” says Enish Bahl, Director, MCT Brattberg India. “Our multi-cable and pipe transits are engineered to perform under the toughest conditions — helping protect vital systems in hydrogen environments where safety and precision are non-negotiable.”

The hydrogen-powered train, with a capacity for 2,600 passengers and supported by a 1-MW electrolyser for hydrogen production and fueling, is a bold step toward India’s greener transport future.

MCT Brattberg is honoured to contribute proven Swedish engineering to this landmark innovation — delivering sealing solutions that safeguard people, assets, and the environment as India moves toward a cleaner, more resilient transport network.
