Meerut South Station Shines with New Rooftop Solar Push

28 May 2025 CW Team

The National Capital Region Transport Corporation (NCRTC) has commissioned a 717 kilowatt-peak rooftop solar power plant at Meerut South Namo Bharat Station. The installation is part of its green energy push across stations, depots and substations to reduce carbon emissions.

The system comprises 1,304 panels rated at 550 Watt-peak each and is projected to generate 815,000 units of solar energy annually. This will help cut carbon emissions by around 750 tonnes every year.

This addition raises NCRTC’s total solar capacity to approximately 4.7 megawatt-peak, spanning locations such as Sahibabad, Ghaziabad, Guldhar, Duhai, and the Duhai Depot. Ghaziabad Station leads with a generation potential of 965 kilowatt-peak.

With a goal of 11 megawatt solar capacity across the 82-kilometre Delhi-Meerut Namo Bharat corridor, NCRTC's efforts align with the National Solar Mission. Several stations now fully meet auxiliary power needs using solar energy.

Other eco-initiatives include rainwater harvesting, LED lighting and regenerative braking in trains, which recycles kinetic energy to conserve power and lower maintenance costs. Eleven stations across a 55-kilometre stretch are currently operational.
