Indian Railway is working for years to meet its energy requirement with renewable energy sources. Indian Railways electricity consumption is nearly 2 percent of the country's total consumption. And for this, they are using 2.6 Billion liters of diesel each year. And it needs one fourth of Indian Railways income to meet this expense. At this stage, union government is planning to install rooftop solar panels in all railway stations. This project is handled by the solar mission of the Indian Railways program.
Indian Railways aims to launch large-scale solar projects, including rooftop solar panels & ground-mounted capacity. Also, the companies that manufacture the energy systems will be able to purchase the energy produced directly from Indian Railways. India’s government is investing in solar power in order to reduce its dependence on fossil fuels. Developing solar power in railways is a step in this direction and represents the right path towards a more sustainable development of the country.
