Indian Railways, one of the world’s largest railway
systems, has decided to diversify its energy portfolio and align with new India
Government's policy of using green energy.
Inaugurating a 30 kilowatt solar power plant at the
Rail Bhawan in New Delhi, Railways Minister Suresh Prabhu said "The entire
thrust of government of India's policy is to move towards green energy, which
will bring in energy security and ecological security. With this as priority
and railway being the largest consumer, railway has decided to diversify its
energy portfolio to ensure that we contribute towards using green energy and
reduce the carbon footprint. We have decided to generate as much renewable
energy as possible".
"India is blessed with 300 days of sunshine in about 90 percent of the areas of the country. That being the case we should use more green energy like solar energy, wind energy and so on," he added.
