Indian Railways inaugurated its first dual‑fuel train in Gujarat, a milestone that will reduce diesel consumption by 40% and cut emissions.
The train, powered by liquefied natural gas (LNG), was launched at Sabarmati by Union Minister Amit Shah.
This initiative is part of the railways’ push toward cleaner energy and is expected to lower pollution levels across the network.
The dual‑fuel system allows the train to switch between diesel and LNG, ensuring operational flexibility and cost savings.
Officials say the new technology will serve as a model for future green rail projects across the country.
