Indian Railways Installs 209 MW Solar Power at 2,249 Locations

Till February 2025, Indian Railways has successfully installed 209 MW of solar power capacity at 2,249 railway stations and service buildings across the country, aligning with government policies on renewable energy, environmental sustainability, and long-term financial savings. 

The initiative forms part of a broader strategy to procure Round The Clock (RTC) renewable power, including solar and wind, through various power procurement modes. Most solar plants have been established via Power Purchase Agreements (PPA) under developer mode. 

Despite facing challenges such as regulatory hurdles, power evacuation, and connectivity issues, Indian Railways addressed them in coordination with State Governments and Transmission Utilities. 

This update was shared by Union Minister Shri Ashwini Vaishnaw in a written reply in the Lok Sabha.
