Wide gap between platform, train poses big risk at Hadapsar station
Pune: Hadapsar railway station passengers have raised serious concerns over the gap between the train and platform number 3 posing a safety risk to those who board trains and disembark. Many fear that without prompt action, the issue could lead to major accidents. Hadapsar railway station passengers have raised serious concerns over gap between train and platform number 3 posing safety risk to those who board trains and disembark. (HT) 'I have to hold my grandson's hand tightly every time we get down here. One wrong step could turn into an accident especially during rush hours,' said Sunita Ramnani, a passenger. Another commuter, Raju Pawar, said, 'In the rainy season, the platform becomes slippery, and this gap adds to the danger.' Hadapsar Railway Station currently handles a mix of local and long-distance trains, connecting it to Pune Junction, Baramati, Daund, and Solapur through multiple DEMU (diesel electric multiple unit) and passenger services such as the Solapur–Pune DEMU Express, Pune–Baramati Passenger, Daund–Pune DEMU, and Hadapsar–Solapur DEMU. It also serves long-distance routes, including the Hyderabad–Hadapsar Express, Hadapsar–Kazipet Express, and the Muzaffarpur–Pune AC Superfast Special. With its growing importance, the station is being developed as a satellite terminal to ease pressure on Pune Junction and accommodate more mail and express trains. 'We have received passenger feedback regarding the gap at platform number 3. The matter has been noted, and we are conducting a technical assessment to determine the feasibility of raising the platform height or modifying train steps. Corrective action will be initiated at the earliest.' said a senior railway official on condition of anonymity.

Historic Ride: Why Indias First Hydrogen Train Launch Is A Landmark Moment? Heres Why It Matters
India is about to take a big leap towards green transport with the upcoming rollout of its first hydrogen train. Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw has today given a peek into the path-breaking loco on social media site X (Earlier Twitter), marking a big step toward greener railways. With this achievement, India stands to be a part of an exclusive club of countries – Germany, France, Sweden, and China – that have been able to implement hydrogen technology in the railway system. The first commercial run of India's hydrogen train is scheduled on the Jind-Sonipat route in Haryana, which will prove to be a milestone achievement for green mobility in India. Bharat's First Hydrogen Train Coming soon… — Ashwini Vaishnaw (@AshwiniVaishnaw) August 12, 2025 Important Facts Regarding India's First Hydrogen Train: As per Indian Railways, the new hydrogen fuel train is planned to be one of the world's most powerful and longest such trains, with a whopping capability of carrying 2,600 passengers. This comes after the successful trial run of its first hydrogen fuel train coach at Chennai's Integral Coach Factory (ICF) recently. In July, Minister Vaishnaw had posted a video of these trials, highlighting India's zeal for a "future-ready and sustainable India." He had also earlier said, "India is making a 1,200 HP Hydrogen train. This will make India one of the leaders in Hydrogen powered train technology." Replying to a question in Rajya Sabha, Vaishnaw presented ambitious proposals for 35 hydrogen trains as part of the 'Hydrogen for Heritage' project. Each train is estimated to be about Rs 80 crore, and an extra Rs 70 crore is being earmarked for infrastructure building particularly for heritage and hill routes. The endeavour includes a pioneering pilot project, refitting a diesel electric multiple unit (DEMU) rake with hydrogen fuel cells. Accompanying this eco-friendly project, Indian Railways is also working on holistic infrastructure, including a hybrid plant for hydrogen production, storage, and dispensing to facilitate smooth train movements. In addition, five Hydrogen Fuel Cell Based Tower Cars, each priced at Rs 10 crore, are being developed for maintenance. For the Haryana corridor, hydrogen will be fed by a 1-megawatt (MW) Polymer Electrolyte Membrane (PEM) electrolyser that will be based in Jind. GreenH Electrolysis, the entity engaged, said that the electrolyser would run continuously and would generate around 430 kg of hydrogen per day. The refuelling infrastructure that will go along with it at Jind will have a 3,000 kg hydrogen storage capacity, a hydrogen compressor, and two hydrogen dispensers with integrated pre-cooler to enable quick refuelling of the trains.

Responding to a Rajya Sabha query, Vaishnaw outlined plans for 35 Hydrogen trains under 'Hydrogen for Heritage', with individual train costs estimated at Rs 80 crore and route infrastructure expenses at Rs 70 crore for heritage and hill routes. Indian Railways has initiated an innovative project to create India's first hydrogen train through a pilot programme, involving the modification of a diesel electric multiple unit (DEMU) rake with hydrogen fuel cells . The minister also detailed plans for supporting infrastructure, including an integrated facility for hydrogen production, storage and dispensation to support the train operations. The project also includes the development of five Hydrogen Fuel Cell Based Tower Cars for maintenance purposes, with each unit carrying a price tag of Rs 10 crore. For the train operating in Haryana, hydrogen will be supplied through a 1-megawatt (MW) Polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) electrolyser situated in Jind. According to GreenH Electrolysis, this electrolyser will operate on a continuous basis, producing about 430 kg of hydrogen daily. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Use an AI Writing Tool That Actually Understands Your Voice Grammarly Install Now Undo The company further stated, "The refuelling infrastructure at Jind will also have a 3,000 kg hydrogen storage, hydrogen compressor, and two hydrogen dispensers with pre-cooler integration, allowing for quick refuelling of the trains."
