  • Indian Railways will set up 200 remote railway stations as 'green energy stations,' powered entirely by the solar energy.

  • Along with this, the 'lifeline' of the country has also proposed some other important green measures to be flagged off this year including- setting up of 72 MW capacity windmill plants in the states of AP, Karnatka, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, and West Bengal; providing solar lighting system at 1000 manned level crossing gates; introduction of mobile emission test cards to measure pollution of diesel locomotives; commissioning of two bio diesel plants in Raipur and Tondiarpet; introduction of a 'green train' to run through the forests of North Bengal; and equipping of 2500 coaches with bio toilets.
