Organisation that floated tender for hydrogen trains shuts shop; Railway says no effect on bids
Barely a month after the Indian Railways Organization of Alternate Fuel (IROAF), a green fuel vertical of the Railways, invited bids for hydrogen fuel cell-based technology for trains, the national transporter has issued an order to shut down the organisation. This was done through an order issued on September 7. The Railways, however, said that ongoing projects or contracts will not be affected in any way.
“Ministry of Railways has decided to close down the Indian Railways Organization for Alternate Fuels’ with effect from September 7, 2021,” the order stated.
