One of the significant actions taken in this direction has\nbeen the installation of solar panels at stations, service buildings, LC gates\netc across the zone. Taking this step to the next level, for the first time all\nthe stations in a particular section of the South Central Railway have been\nprovided with solar panels at one stretch to tap the natural energy. This will\nnot only help in meeting power needs of all the stations in the section but\nalso save expenditure for the Railways.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Indian Railways has planned to source about 1000 Mega Watt (MW) Solar Power and about 200 MW of wind power progressively by 2021-22 across Zonal Railways &amp; Production Units.
