Fluitron Technology Supports India’s First Hydrogen-Powered Train Through Hydrogen Refuelling Infrastructure
Fluitron supplied the hydrogen refuelling station at Jind, a key infrastructure element enabling India’s first hydrogen fuel cell train through high-pressure compression and safe dispensing.

Jind (Haryana) [India] July 17: India has marked a historic milestone in clean energy mobility with the launch of the country’s first Hydrogen Fuel Cell-powered train, flagged off by Honourable Prime Minister Narendra Modi at Jind, Haryana. While the hydrogen fuel cell train and electrolyzer at the Jind station were delivered by the project’s primary contractors, Medha and Green-H2B2, it was Fluitron that engineered and manufactured the Hydrogen Refuelling Station (HRS), a critical component of the project’s infrastructure responsible for the safe dispensing of hydrogen fuel that made the train’s operation possible. The hydrogen-powered train may be the visible face of this milestone, but it is the Hydrogen Refuelling Station at Jind that functions as the vital link, safely converting hydrogen produced on-site into usable, high-pressure fuel for rail operations. The hydrogen produced through the electrolyzer gets dispensed to the locomotive safely through the Fluitron HRS. Fluitron designed, engineered, manufactured, and delivered the complete refuelling technology stack, comprising a high-pressure compressor system (18 kg/hr flow, 500 bar output pressure), two specialized hydrogen dispensers (350 bar each), and an integrated fuelling system management platform fully automated that coordinates compression, storage, and dispensing to ensure consistent fuel delivery and continuously monitors safety across every refuelling cycle.
